My father told me that saying was traditionally followed by "She's no better than she ought to be!" (which I always thought is true of everyone, mind you).
"Me, Polly Garter, under the washing line, giving the breast in the garden to my bonny new baby. Nothing grows in our garden, only washing. And babies. And where's their fathers live, my love? Over the hills and far away. You're looking up at me now. I know what you're thinking, you poor little milky creature. You're thinking, you're no better than you should be, Polly, and that's good enough for me. Oh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God?"

“ Give it a go mate, she’ll be right” a positive attitude to experimentation, from Down Under.

Also a Down Underish rhyme I say when doing electrical work, “Red and Brown will take you down, Black and Blue, will see you thro’ “

I remember my grandfather used to say, "By The Cringe" which for some reason always amused me.

He also used to say about my mother's cooking, "She is the only woman I know who can kill a piece of meat twice", which to be fair was pretty accurate.

I thought that was "no trousers" with something similar beginning "All fur coat..."

Tight as a fishes *rse
Cold as a witches t*t
Welcome as a f*rt in space suit
Rich as a boxing day f*rt
Dry as a nun’s f*d
Like trying to shove lard up a cat’s *rse with a hot knife
Full as a bull’s b*m
Full as a seaside dunny on boxing day

“. . . And no knickers”. Where I am it means top show, with no substance, or trying to appear well off when not.
