Daylight robbery – not an easy thing to steal.
Don’t cry over spilt milk – it makes it salty.
Don’t upset the applecart – if you can find one.
Draw the short straw - with a long pencil.

A brush with the law - a sweeping statement?
Too big for yer boots - they shrunk the chemist!
Break a leg - i'm fed up with being your stand-in.
People in glass houses will vegetate.

Your cartoon reminds me of a lady in the Care Home where Joyce was, that lady always walked round with three or four hats on her head.

No waiting here at any time. What you doing standing here, waiting, reading this notice?
This is a Private Notice - Please do not read.
Some nutter actually has this last notice on a high fence in their back garden!
I've seen a similiar notice which read:
This is a Private Notice - Readers will be Prosecuted.
In my office we had a notice which was there for years - it read:
Please Do Not Remove This Notice,

You and your idioms for idiots like me one to four - - well as I laughed my socks off I must be one of the foremost.......... ha ha
I'm the idiot - I don't even know what an apple cart is. Any ideas?
Angela here ~ Good Tuesday Uncle MIKE ~ no Poem today BOTH too busy at Work ! Us Young ones have to earn a CRUST ! Love the idiotic IDIOMS my fave is No 3 ! I know what a APPLE CART is and how easily they are upset ! When I used to visit Sevilla in the Summer as a Child in addition to Vineyards Mis Abuelos grew Oranges & Lemons & Apples. The Apples were always ripe first and we used to pick them and put them (carefully) into big baskets ! The APPLE CART was Low & Flat & Horse Drawn. We used to sit on the Cart and hold on to our BASKET because the ground was bumpy ad we didnt want to *Upset the Apple Cart* and Bruise and Dirty the Apples which were bound for the Local Market to be sold on the Family Stall ! Its not much different today in Rural Spain ~ AMEN !
Love the Cartoon ! In essence I wear about six Hats ~ Physio - Wife - Gardener - Singer - Youth Laeder etc & so does BRIAN ! However fortunately they are CYBER HATS except the Floppy One I wear for Gardening. We have two Apple Trees but no Wooden Apple Cart just a plastic Wheelbarrow - Wobbly with ONE WHEEL ! No Poem today *MY SENSE OF TOUCH* TOMORROW !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey 🧡💙🤎
