I once flew with a man in an Auster light aircraft and, whenever things looked at all hairy, he would say "Gosh and Gollikins!" I didn't find it in the least reassuring ... !
And I must admit to finding myself saying "upon my word" and "upon my soul and whiskers" to Pippa, our lab. But for some reason it takes something a bit stronger to have any effect on Harley!
