Anybody heard this expression?
I heard someone use this the other day, first time in years.
The ex Mrs Tel used to say it and I had no idea what she was talking about, always thought it was a strange Bromley saying.

It referred to a slip or petticoat showing below the skirt/dress hem-line.
I would imagine that the only petticoats that Miss D knows, are shortbread ones razz:

I use the phrase but not sure where it came from. redface:
Used for sagging petticoats, stockings at half mast and chaps with shirt tail hanging out.

Brought back a memory of school that did. Mr Parkinson, "you boy, tuck your shirt in your trousers, your brains will get cold". He was the physics teacher then (1973), and retired as headmaster of the same school last year. If you cut him in half, I reckon the school's name would run right through him

"I've seen more meat on a butcher's pencil". I was discreet angel1

Yep used to be a common phrase in Worcestershire in the early/mid 70s. Always referred to petticoats/slips as far as I was aware.

I remember it as "Charlie's dead" and always assumed it was because the undergarment being displayed was thought to be at "Half Mast". whistle:
