Many A Mickle Makes A Muckle

[alexanderd]

there is a scottish one Many a muckle makes a Mickle but dont ask me what it means

[alexanderd]

Spodo got my muckles and mickles mixed up (painful)!!!

[ladyalex]

It means look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves......LOL
:-))

[SpodoCommodo]

Don't blame you 'cos I don't know what it means, and the red wine is preventing me from being bothered finding out.

[ladyalex]

A mickle is a small amount
A muckle is a large amount
so....

Lots of small amounts will make a large amount.
:-))

[SpodoCommodo]

So it doesn't mean that if you can't be bothered using a search engine then someone else will do it for you ,since that's what happens on CB.

[alexanderd]

Ladyalex dont expect me to be logical after that punch at the club!!

[ladyalex]

I didn't punch you , did I ?

[gen2]

We more usually say ''Mony a Mickle Maks a Muckle''

[SpodoCommodo]

Wasn't that a hit for Billy Idol?

(and I meant AB, not CB, last time)

[ladyalex]

But that is advanced Scottish, gen2.......

[alexanderd]
