I always understood that "taters" came from Cockney rhyming slang
That's a new one on me. The phrase "taters in the mould" sounds a bit long for Cockney slang, which is usually one or two words, excluding connecting word (which is usually unstressed): "Boat Race", "Plates'a (of) Meat", "Trouble'n (and) Strife". It doesn't seem to have the right rhythm, either. Still, you could be right - I'm no expert on these matters.

Okay, we've just had a foot of cold, wet, snowman-making snow and it's really cold here. I ain't playin'. Wind chill factor=-3ºF So cold my hair has knitted itself into a blanket. Boy howdy, that trip to Florida is sounding better and better  .

And I just got back from the frozen Rockies! I spent the last week in Yellowstone where I experienced 37 degrees below zero (farenheit) and loved every minute of it. (And that doesn't include the wind chill factor.) Trying to fire up that snowmobile at that temp was soooooooo much fun. Took many a pull and got all warmed up in doing so. Anyone who thinks snowmobiling is an easy sport, doesn't know how to do it!
