Did everyone's Mum tell them to stop pulling faces because one day the wind would change and they "would stay like that for ever" ?
Another one, "Don't keep picking at it, it'll never get better."
Finally, all the threats of disaster and famine stricken children coming to eat your greens, sprouts, turnips and parsnips if you left them on your plate. I used to think sometimes that Mum's greens would be the only evidence that human life had ever existed in Ilford in the event of a nuclear attack.
