Ahh, morons, always fertile ground for many hands making hay to save nine. In this story on the BBC website we have a beautifully mixed metaphor:
Why not make lemonade from the lemon rather than sweep it under the carpet.
Credit goes to the Socialists at the BBC for the lack of a question mark on the above quote from someone by the name of Carol Dudley. Given that the piece fails to make mention of who Ms Dudley is, I chose to believe she is the writer's plumber, who happened to be on hand for a quote shortly before his copy deadline.
(N.B. I in no way wish to impy that plumbers are stupid, just that this one is. There was that one plumber I knew who almost cut his own thumb off with a Stanley knife though; perhaps this is a trend)

What would a plumber be doing with a stanley knife? Surely replacing washers does not require that?
It's bad ass where I used to work, you have to protect yourself at all times (like in boxing).
