Dominic Raab has been taking some stick on social media for using the phrases 'A Stitch in Time Saves Nine' - apparently it's not understood by those under 40.
Doing an exploration of circumstances with a caller this week I asked about his wife's wages. His reply referenced her 'pick up' of about £1200/month.
Context made it reasonably evident that he meant 'take home' but I had to ask him to clarify.
Maybe a Black Country expression.
Also had my second recent account of somebody being 'furlonged' from work.
