Countryside / local rural sayings?

One I've used recently, "a bloke who works for nowt and a woman who f**ks for nowt will always be busy"

Whilst referring to a woman with a lot to say, "she's more mouth than a cows got c**t"

When sending someone to see a questionable person "go see yon c**t down t'road"

On a cleaner note my late father used to refer to a potatoe field as a 'tatey cloise' and a muddy strip of land as a 'quagmire'. One of his often used sayings in winter were "its o'er boot tops out there, its like a bloody quagmire"

The quagmire was always caused by 'fill dyke' (rain) and at these time was often told to "tek thi boo-its of else tha'll be trapesin mud all o'er"
The instruction to close a door was 'put t'wood int hole'
And a bow legged man was described as "he couldn't stop a pig in a ginnell" (Ginnell pronounced with a G not a J in our house)

I'm sure I'll think of more.

A Somerset saying because lads together tend to mess about rather than work: One boys a boy, two boys is half a boy and three boys is no boys at all.
Also if something is blunt " You could ride on it bare arsed to Nottingham"
 
My old boss once said to one of his workers who was known to fart a lot, Boy you've got a arse like a rooks nest. What replied worker. All sh!t and sticks said the boss.
 
A small measure of length = a Knat's winkle

Probably not rural sayings but terms used by a chap I used to work with that caught on. When asked by mother in law how much milk in tea I nearly replied just a ........:oops:
