Looks like I missed a lively debate here!
I'll just note, en passant, that Poirot wins the prise, for my money, for best mixed metaphor of the month with his: "to lever a wedge".
Best stick to solving crimes, Poirot, what! :-)

Squeers:"Looks like I missed a lively debate here!"

Dear Squeers,

Thanks for that?

I had no idea that Graham was employing metaphor police around here.
