"mind, nane o' yer monkey tricks, noo!" always left me wondering what tricks monkeys got up to that were forbidden to us kids!

Rosedoyle, sort of like the Tram Conductress' " c'moan, get aff!"
Edit: Reminds me too, of this little ditty!
"Oh, ye cannae shove yer granny aff the bus
Naw ye cannae shove yer granny aff the bus
Naw ye cannae shove yer granny, 'cos she's yer mammy's mammy
Naw ye cannae shove yer granny aff the bus!
Definitely Off Topic but worth another look for the umpteenth time! (Subtitled for the Sassenachs)
