    A new one for me...... Worsement........ apparently the opposite of Betterment :mad: One good thing - Levelling Up seems to have fallen by the wayside ( for now at least ).

      Maybe it gets worser and worser until it gets to ( the ) worsement so you've still got that to look forward to :biggrin:

          Allowed. When someone says to me are you Allowed to do that. When it is a simple action or activity, can't think of an example now. Folks that say, Are you Allowed. that just makes me wonder do they spend their lives making sure they are allowed to do something for every action and not just be creative or use common sense. Guess it is just like folks that want to stay in their own narrow lane.

              Level should be .... level. It is or it isn't. You can't be a bit pregnant and your wall can't be a bit level.

                Yes @BB3 you can't Level Up or Level Down - just another meaningless phrase politicians have invented :wallbanging: Such a shame that John Humphrys or Jeremy Paxman are no longer doing interviews in the world of politics .

                  Levelling requires a spirit level. Gin, maybe?

                    @Penny_Forthem you have to keep drinking until it looks level - both of them.

                            Your wall could be out of level or possibly not plumb.

                            I've probably mentioned it before, but I keep hearing on TV lately and it really annoys me......Staycation......to me that means staying at home, not having a holiday in England :nonofinger:
                            People have been having holidays here forever:dunno:
