We all do it. We all say things that actually
make no sense at all. And here are ten of them but there are zillions more.
"They're all on the gravy
train." This
came up a lot in the recent EU referendum. People griped and moaned about “the
EU gravy train” which of course is that well known rail service transporting
gravy from Paris to Munich via Brussels. Except it isn’t! There is no such
thing as a gravy train. When have you ever seen one? You see; it does not
exist.
“I waited years for the train / bus/ taxi.” Mmm, You didn’t actually did you? You waited a while. Imagine if you had waited for years, slowly accumulating things like a portable shower and loo, fresh clothes, a foldaway bed etc. When the train /bus/ taxi finally came all of your stuff wouldn’t fit in it. You will wait many years for a gravy train though!
