Things that are not all they're cracked up to be

Looks pretty good from where I'm sitting, well ok I can't actually see it from my house but I could if I walked for a few minutes. It's blueish I guess.

I agree, of course. It should be called the Black Danube, starting in the Black Forest area and ending in the Black Sea.

Though, unlike football and other nonsense I think it IS what it's "cracked up" to be.

The Danube is cracked up to be blue,the bit I saw in Vienna was brown

Very apt indeed.

It was positively mucky brown when I last saw it.

By "original" do you mean before Clarkson got at it?

Sorry - what is "hanging out washing" supposed to be "cracked up to be" in the first place? Isn't it like emptying the bins - an unpleasant but necessary chore? Has anyone ever suggested that hanging out the washing is a wonderful experience?

I used to work with a lady who,if the weather turned nice,would go home during her lunch break just to hang out the washing.
Mrs ER has been known to do some washing,if needed or not, just because the sun is shining.
Since I've stopped working I've become unofficial bin monitor for our block,which I quite enjoy
