Ditchwater not dishwater. Still a silly saying though.

My grandmother - and consequently my mother - has a saying that I've never heard anywhere else. As an exclamation of shock or surprise she says "Gawd blind old pole". I don't know if it's a London thing, a Jewish thing or what. I've tried Googling it. Anyone ever heard that before?

I just remembered -
Didn't BB10 Freddie talk about "mad as a hatter" to Marcus during their midnight conversations? (I am not sure)
(I miss BB's live feed.)
