My mum always said to me

A poor workman always blames his tools 

when she was teaching me to knit and sew.

I have bumped the other similar threads …….. might jog a few memories [I think Billy Connolloy has a similar theme in one of his shows 'you wait until your father gets home' and 'I'll give you something to cry about'  ::) ]

Is it necessary for English speakers to say as much as we do?

i.e. safe haven …… wrong because a haven is what it says on the tin

"I hadn't done that (before)"

I thought of several examples earlier  ::)

I will tell my son that one. My son scared of them and will not be happy till we caught it even a tiny one. We tell him we caught it and put it outside. Anything for a quite life!

Spiders are scary 'cos they scuttle  ::) - I rarely kill one, how about buying one of those spider catchery things from lakeland - then you can examine it in safety, they really are quite clever! those knees for starters  ;).  I have a biggy in our garden shed, it scurried into a large web which is where it will stay until I get the long-handled feather duster  ;D
