Ooh-waa, I better watch my p's 'n q's then.
Sorry, you blokes probably don't understand p's 'n q's??
It was and olde English tradition, at the closing of the pub at night, the hotelier would shout out, "Watch yer p's 'n q's".
This meant, have a squiz (look), at yer pints 'n quarts, 'n if yer need another one, yer better get it now 'cos the pub's closing.
Over the years, us Colonials have translated it into meaning, watch yer manners.
Which I shall now endeavour to do, so I don't get "upgraded". :-)
Shortwun.
