I think it's regional differences...

The version I heard as a child in London was:-

I beg your parding Mrs Harding
I left my kitting in your garding

I've never heard this before, I'm from East Yorkshire.

I am in the S E, one of my Granny’s always said pardon Mrs Arden, there’s a pussy cat in your garden

This has been passed down the generations and our young GC find it hilarious.

My gran, originally from South London, was definitely a pussy cat in tge garden

We said
I havent had an egg since breakfast

Labradora my mum used to sing chick chick chick chick chicken to me. It's a Nursery Rhyme from 1925.

Chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me
Chick chick chick chick chicken
I want one for my tea.

I haven't had an egg since Easter
And now it's half past three
Chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me.

Thank you for the memory.

This is so spooky! This little rhyme came to my mind just yesterday while I was working in my garden!

My Mum was Irish and always said “beg your pardon Mrs Arden, there’s a kitten in your garden.”

How did this thread pop up from 2 years ago?
Greyduster the skipping rope across the road or playground was my very favourite thing. No wonder we were all skinny kids. Half an hour of skipping or turning the rope must have burnt off the school dinner.
Perhaps I should do that again now!
Egg and chips
Sausage and mash
Cheese and biscuits
Hum and hah.
South London and then SE Kent.

‘Up the Apple and pears’, is what my London born and bred Dad used to say when they were going to bed up the stairs. Haven’t heard of Mrs. Arden. I like the one here - if he/ she had another brain it’d be lonely.

I beg your pardon, Mrs Arden, your cat's had kittens in our back garden.

Jam / chips anything between two slices of bread is butties or sarnies in Liverpool. If you put the posh act on its sandwiches.

North East England. My Grandad taught me, "Pardon Mrs Hardin there's a piggy in your garden! You'd better get it out, or it'll eat up all your sprouts.
Egg and chips.
Roll, bap, or bun.
I was taught to say pardon me after I belch, and excuse me after breaking wind.
I stutter to gain some thinking time.

That sounds like a Spike Milligan poem.

Grammaretto
I remember the One fine day . . .
We also used to say,
The elephant is a bonny bird.
It flits from bough to bough.
It builds its nest in the rhubarb tree
And whistles like a cow.

Bread cakes
Scones not scons (though I have always said scons)
Egg and chips
Fish and chips
Pardon me for being rude…….etc
Jury’s out on buns!
“One two three, mother caught a flea” was one of the rhymes we used to skip to in the fifties; usually with a long rope stretched across the road that we children would jump into, skip a few steps, jump out and wait our turn to do it again. Timing was all! If you mistimed it and collapsed the rope, you weren’t allowed back in until everyone else had been round three times!

Pardon,.Mrs Farthing, there's a pussy in your garden.

Think we can safely Mrs Arden was not known in Scotland. Remember my Mum saying "red and green should never be seen except upon an Irish Queen.

Never heard of pardon in the garden.
Always chips and egg.
Jam butty.

Mine growing up was there’s an elephant in your garden and um and ar I’m from south east.

Just hope Mrs. Arden doesn't move in next door!

I'd not heard of Mrs Arden until this thread.
We learned many rude rhymes as children but one, not rude, my boys liked was:

One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight.
Back to back they faced eachother
Drew their swords and shot one another.

I learned Does eat oats dozydotesand marezydotes from a Lancashire neighbour in Scotland.

Egg and chips.

We were not to say pardon. I beg your pardon or what? was allowed.
Rude was ok. Vulgar was not.

Never heard of Mrs Arden - she obviously is not from the Glasgow area.

Did people have differing versions of "fatty and skinny"?

Fatty and skinny were in the bath, fatty blew off and made skinny laugh.

We up in the North say “ Begging your pardon Mrs Arden ,look what your dog’s done in our back garden”
