I usually say, 'Put wood in t'ole!'

Having just read them, I wouldn't dare use the reference to the chicken in polite company. It means something very different where I come from.
"It's a bit black over Bill's mothers" is a local expression that I hadn't heard until I was quite old.

Apparently, it refers to rain clouds coming in from Stratford direction, hence reference to Bill.
