    Catch phrases - do you repeat them? - which ones do you hate?

    I've been guilty of using them ... much to Mrs M's annoyance
    (If it didn't annoy her - there wouldn't be much point in saying them really!)

    Now I'm not verging on being a bit of a loony but these are some I find myself uttering from time to time.........
    I don't believe it! ... obviously.

    Hi-de-Hi ... more often than not on holiday.... someone always responds, funny enough, usually a Jock.

    I'm free! .... I know, I know - unforgivable.

    .....and the brother in law had me in stitches the other day ..... he told me that he requested a certain sexual favour of his wife, who inturn replied with,
    "Sorry, brand new customers only!"

    I hate, with a passion, Nice to see you,etc

    Our best man at our wedding started off his speech with
    "Nice to see you - to see you - " and that was 33 years ago!!!
    "Gordon Bennett!" gets used quite a bit in our house - and so does "Shut that door" and "Who let the dogs out?".
    It does matter :)

    I tend to say "Oh dearie me" as used repetitively in "The High Life" if anyone remembers that

    If someone says something which I think is a bit irrelevant I usually reply with " And your point is caller?" It usually gets me either a laugh or a smack in the face.
