Coming from Derbyshire there are a few weird and wonderful sayings. My mother used one when the weather looked bad. 'It looks black ovver Bill's mothers', she would say. This had nothing to do with Bill's mother off course but being young and impressionable I always wondered why the weather was crap over just one poor sods house.
