When visited by family: "People crying out for houses and those that have 'em waint stop in them."
5am Monday morning: "Get up the day after tomorrow is't middle oft week and nowt's done yet."
After being given 6 pence for the Sunday school trip: "Make sure you bring it back."
Clifford wanted to go to the circus that was in town. Granddad gave him half a crown. Clifford thought all his birthdays had come at once. When he got back he was in big trouble — he was supposed to have taken all seven siblings.
