    Hi Gemini "Dont Put All Your Eggs In One Basket" Is A Very True Saying :WINK1:.
    I Was Employed In the Plastics Industry 1964 to 1998. We Supplied Plastic All over the World. it was a high Grade Plastic for Cars/telephone systems/electrical goods etc. We received a Huge Order From China worth Millions of pounds. My company were on the verge of dropping all other contracts just to concentrate on this one Customer. The Chinese Company Received their order ,and to cut a long story short our company never got paid a (Yuan) . so this is a fine example of not putting all your eggs in one basket:WINK1:

    Teaching granny to suck eggs.

    Never tried to do that, as I really did not want to see my Granny suck eggs, nor to see the residue on her moustache & chin hairs.

    Ah yes, that takes me back. They don't make a combined shampoo and laxative like that any more.

    People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Or get undressed.
