I'm just going to turn my bike round
Northern people also occasionally mention the necessity of wallpapering one's bicycle to get out of a tedious task.
The late actors Bill Waddington and Bryan Mosley (who played Percy Sugden and Alf Roberts) had a running joke about it;
'What're you doing Saturday afternoon, Bill?' 'The wife wants me to take her shopping but I've told her I'm wallpapering me bike.'
