Can I pedant here for a minute?There don't actually appear to be many proverbs here... similies, quotes and adages yes, proverbs, very few.
Pedant over. Would a sulky pedant be pedulant???
Just to throw my pen'orth in... Les Barker (may his shadow never grow thinner) in concert in say, Towersey, will often say, 'Here's one that someone requested - in Sidmouth'.
