Trying to think of some things my Lancashire parents would say.

Black as up chimney - dirty

Soft as me pocket - a compassionate person

Balm pot (or maybe barmpot?) - someone daft

Neither use nor ornament - someone or something that was useless

Nice, isn't it. I think back fondly to hearing my mother say that & other strange stuff. Hopefully I can remember some other unusual sayings of hers.
