Just thought of another anecdote. I used to do the garden for a little old lady (from London) who had a fair turn of phrase. Whenever we were going to do something new, or experimental, she had two phrases:I have one idea for this challenge. It is probably not a contender, but it will be something I will want to eat
"Run it up the flagpole, ducky, see if it floats in the breeze!"
And
"Push it down the hill and see if the wheels fall off!"
