Subject: RE: BS: Those handy UK expressions...
"I'm not as green as I am cabbage - looking", was one of my Grandma's favourite phrases.

If I think that someone has under-estimated my intelligence I tend to say, "I'm not as green as YOU'RE cabbage-looking".

My original source for this phrase is now lost in the mists of history.
