Old miners in a grungy part of England said it when something went from bad to worse. It’s like when your mom’s soup turns out to be just ketchup and hot water.
"Lad alive! My toaster just exploded and now my cat is on fire."
"Lad alive! I tried to cook breakfast and now my kitchen looks like a war zone."
"Lad alive! My boss just told me I have to work weekends now."
