--- Quote ---Eh, I never seem to know what's going on... --- End quote --- neither do we most of the time :lol: Just to keep you in the loop... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_to_Coventry basically that's that old joke! ::) The extra screwdrivers = hammers. Basically suggests the lack of intelligence of an areas tradesmen. Being a bit stupid and putting screws in with a hammer! But all phrases are just commonly used by various tradesmen to ask for a (usually) "big" hammer to get something finally into place. :hammer: no real malice for the area mentioned :) I usually ask for the "micro fine adjuster" myself. (meaning a very big hammer!) It kinda flows of the tongue better :) But if I'd written that it wouldn't have had that same quick hit humour I was looking for!! :lol: All that from a quick joke!! I hope that's cleared it all up? Ralph. |
