Buying plant from ebay..

[teepeeat]

I'm more concerned i know what a dutch rudder is....

 

Never heard of a dutch letter or a dutch rudder .........and I am half dutch. Now I'm all confused

Easily done mind

 

PS Mr STUMP, sorry to hear about your mates ebay woes and good to know how that particular scam works - good heads up.

I have no idea what a Dutch rudder is either. I think I need to start a thread about slang so I know these things.

 

Off I go to the general section.

I do want to know! I hate feeling left out.

 

We make something called a pig in a blanket here. It's a hot dog wrapped in a slice of cheese, wrapped in a slice of white bread. Then baked until it is crispy and done. This is generally served at school, not at home for dinner.

BTW,

 

Mr. Stump, I apologize for derailing your thread!

Means buying an unknown item/quantity.

A poke is a bag or paper container ( a poke of chips or a poke of sweets)

Hence it might or might not be a pig wriggling about in there:lol:

A poke was a sack. If you bought a pig in a poke it was likely to have been swapped for a cat by an untrustworthy trader. If you then opened the sack you were letting the cat out of the bag (exposing the truth)

A pig in a blanket over here is a cocktail sausage wrapped in bacon. At least I've only ever seen them as a cocktail sausage.
