These two sayings have stayed with me from 40 years ago when doing summer work with the local council dustbin / parks men:

- tidy as you go (probably the same gaffer seeing me create a huge mess)
I suppose that sums it up in a kind of melancholic way.

I’d gaze into the blue yonder in a childlike way and ponder. I hasten to add, I don’t have a thing about sailors or bell bottoms
