Old things, generally, are often in need of repair.
An auld tout on a new horn is little minded.
An old story or complaint receives little attention even although it may be told in a different form.
Ance awa, aye awa.
When people once go away from home for a time, there is always a feeling among those left that the bond which binds them to home is weakened, and very little persuasion is required to take them away again.
Ance is nae custom.
Ance paid, never craved.
Ance Provost, aye My Lord.
Ance wud, never wise.
