A cool feeling 21c in a lively breeze, 100% cloud cover but despite that it is quite bright.
Cougar377 I’ll duck out of the quiz this time as my movements are erratic at the moment and likely to be for some time.
I also don’t know where I am going to be from day to day.

Cool. Lots of quizzes about motorcycles then.
What do you call a ditch at the lower end of a field. Water collects there as the field drains after rain and it is known to flow very slowly. An expression here in the North is "As lazy as sheough water" Pronounced as it is spelt.
Think of lough or loch in Scotland. Silent "e".
Thanks Cougar. I may be able to look on my phone but that's about it.
I woukd have thought other subjects would be better as it woukd be a shame to see interest dwindle In Centaur absence.Cool. Lots of quizzes about motorcycles then.

"as thick as a ditch" = stupid
It's also considered to be the boundary bank of earth and bushes etc.
I remember being taught in surveying, if I remember correctly, that when the ditch formed the boundary the excavated earth was the edge, the red line in the attached was the demarcation.
Thus, I think, the reason people refer to the bank as the ditch.
