Book description
Allan Morrison's penchant for collecting couthy Scots sayings over
the years has resulted in a rich seam of books over the past five
years. This latest is no different as Allan has given dad's their
chance to have their say in this surefire bestseller. 'Away An' Ask
Yer Mother!' is a compilation of those phrases and sayings which
henpecked and harassed (and well-loved) dad's have uttered to their
children over the years. Do you remember these classics? 'YE NEED TAE
DAE WHIT YE HAVE TAE DAE, AFORE YE CAN DAE WHIT YE WANT TAE DAE!'
'IT'S OK WI' ME IF IT'S OK WI YER MOTHER.' 'NOW, BE GOOD! AND IF YOU
CAN'T BE GOOD BE CAREFUL. AND IF YOU CAN'T BE CAREFUL, DON'T CA'IT
EFTER ME!' 'EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE IS ENTITLED TO MY OPINION!' 'JUST
WAIT TILL I GET YOU HOME.' It is recommended that you repeat the
father's sayings in this book out loud, preferably with a lump in your
throat, a slightly red face, a wagging finger and a loving heart!
Allan Morrison lives on the banks of the River Clyde and has been
collecting Scots sayings for much of his life. He is the former
personnel manager at IBM, Greenock and is a keen hillwalker and a
popular after-dinner speaker.
