Stone the crows
Stone me

When I was at primary school my Mum referred to one of the other Mums, who was clearly fond of a doughnut, as 'Ere's me head, me a*se is coming.
Unaware at that age of the concept of confidentiality, Little Mezzer got it in the neck for calling her this to one of the other Mums, who just so happened to be best friends with aforementioned 'Ere's me head.
 
Oy! Four eyes!

Flash the ash.
Cherry! (When someone goes red from embarrassment).
Bundle (when a fight starts. Sometimes resulting in claret everywhere).
Wotcher (as a greeting).
Radio Rental (emotional condition).

That's up the pictures (broken/not going to happen).
Put the mockers on.
Dummy all (fooled you).
Gawd, blimey.

Frequently heard at home when I was a child (1950s): "You'd laugh to see a pudding crawl."

"(S)he's all there and halfway back", about a cheekily bright child.

"Stone (or starve) the crows", in response to something very surprising.
