    Hmm, maybe. But the nub of it is that you are *only* going to the foot of the stair; so, not worth a bigger journey?

    I'm the only Southerner in my family, so I'm used to weird and wonderful expressions being spouted instead of a good old: just say what you mean!!! :wallbanging: Which is interesting, because my northern gene-lines keep telling me how "down to earth" and "straight to the point" they are :heehee:

    I don't know enough about it, only when we used to use it, to be sure. It was obviously important enough to bother to go to the stairs but not enough to walk up them!

      I remember my grandmother often saying "

      If wishes were horses, beggars would ride; if turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side; and if IF's and AND's were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers hands.:)
