Well it has a history.
..."Derby and Joan"<br />Well it has a history.<br />1. It is Darby and Joan. I don't think Bill could now be classified as a 3 year old colt lining up in a Derby field. Sorry Bill, but age does catch up!<br />2. After much hair scrathing, as I had heard the expression way back, now a "RARITY" - here is the history. Way back to 1735! It is a British saying.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darby_and_Joan<br /><br />Now who knows the old Australian expression, that you hear no more,<br />something to do with "geese and bridles"???? ( Bridles for horses, what the hell do bridles have to do with geese??) My grandparents used it often, I think it meant - "Don't be stupid"???<br />Maybe these days, this "bridles and geese" should come back???<br />Over to Aussie viewers for their views.<br />Cheers<br />ColinColinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-22061204614956135652013-01-02T13:50:00.558+10:002013-01-02T13:50:00.558+10:00Happy New Year, Diane!

We have only tried it in the park down the street, so yes, she pretty much takes me off on the same trails. Dogs do love routine.
