Great to see you, Shona, for however short a time. And thanks for the link - very interesting, even if it doesn't list "all mouth and trousers"

This URL takes you to an idiom page, though maybe not the same one. But I found it in Fishonabike's site.

Dear Fishonabike ... WECOME HOME ... your absence spawned many wails of longing and anguish ... so don't go away again.
Please?
