Anyone got any good mnemonics?

[LauderSyme]

Yesterday I found myself telling ds the mnemonic I was taught when learning the order of sharps in musical key signatures: Father Christmas Goes Down An Escalator Backwards.

It prompted me to remember some others I learned, like Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty, Stalactites Hold On Tight while Stalagmites Grow Tall With Might, and Some Men Hate Every One: Great Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario.

They must work cos I am well old now and clearly haven't forgotten! What mnemonics (useful or otherwise) are indelibly imprinted on your brain?

Never Eat Shredded Wheat

Never Eat Chips Eat Salad Sandwiches And Remain Young (necessary)

Good King Philip Chases Old Frogs Going South

Mystery vampire eats my jumpy suspicious uncle nick

Richard of York gave battle
in vain (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)

Malt vinegar every morning just suppose you never pay (the planets, back when Pluto was Included)

i also use mnemonics to remember number plates!!

I love a good mnemonic.

Planets: Miss Vera Eats Many Juicy Sausages Usually Nice Pork (though "pork" has since been relegated 🤣 )

Geological Periods: Query The Cranberry Jelly That Poor Charlie's Dad Sells On Commission

Re music I learned "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" but my kids have been taught "....Football"

Oops.. Posted too soon.

Drained King Philip Chases Old Frogs Going South (taxonomic order)

My planets one is My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos. Before Pluto got demoted is was Nine Pizzas instead of Nachos!

Mr Vans Tramped was something I learned in French but I have completely forgotten what.
