    London: its "buzz" and "vibrancy"... can be codewords for drugs, late-night noise and multi-culturalism run (literally) riot.

    Keep away from ITV
    "As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her - her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye." Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier

    [QUOTE=smartascarrots;4412838]Funnily enough, 'barrier' and 'RAF Regiment' in the same sentence prompted two words to leap to my mind - one of which was 'downs'

    Fixed that for you.

    From World Wide Words: Whim-wham for a goose’s bridle and apologies it's from an Antipodean site.
    An old farmer for whom I used to work as a schoolboy in the very early 60's in Warwickshire used to refer to "A wim-wom for a ducks rudder". Too similar not to have the same root.
