AND



The show's title is a reference to the use of 'bread' as a slang term for money. A regular scenario in each episode was that of Nellie opening a cockerel-fashioned kitchen storage pot prior to the evening meal, into which the family would place money for their upkeep. The amount of money placed in the pot by each depended on how successful a day they'd had. The pot would be at the forefront of the screen at the end of each episode as the credits rolled.

The phrase was "tip up" when WEEKLY cash paypackets of men and working children went to the wife/mother UNOPENED and she gave pocket money back...

Is it a real blonde moment that you are having, or is this a wind up?

Meaning

A belated realization of something after a period of confusion or misunderstanding.

Origin

The Oxford English Dictionary states that this phrase originated by way of allusion to the mechanism of penny-in-the-slot machines. The OED's earliest citation of a use of the phrase, in Nigel Balchin's novel A Way through Wood, 1951:

"I sat and thought for a moment and then the penny dropped."

The image of someone waiting for a penny-in-the-slot mechanism (which often jammed) to operate does sound plausible and, if that isn't the origin, it is difficult to image what is.

The usage is surely earlier than 1951 though. Public toilets still then required users to 'spend a penny' in order to unlock the door to get in but, even counting those, coin operated machines were much less common than they were in Victorian times.

Sorry to hear you're not well. Do you have a cold, that's got into your chest?

Do you need a little;

man flue drink plenty of water, or try a hot toddy
a double whisky, the same amount of hot water and a bit of sugar mix well and drink along with 2 paracetamol

Have you stopped having blonde moments now? Or is a blackout a more severe blonde moment?
