    Slice half an onion into a bit of oil and put on a low burner while you cook.

    You will never use the onion, but the smell will calm them down, and they will know that something really good is coming

    my nan once asked me to divide the chips equally amnongst the plates, then she asked my brother to pick which plate he wanted.
    My mother used to simply put the food in the middle of the table and blow a whistle.

    Used to have some cracking fights.

    When answering the door, put your coat on.

    If it's a friend, say 'I've only just come in' and take your coat off
    Otherwise , say 'I'm just on my way out' and close the door over
