Just out of reach
Powering through our favourite cinnamon Altoids, safe in the knowledge that we can replenish our stocks before long, I opened the latest pack to find this.
Created in the UK for a North American market, I wasn’t surprised to find an American/Canadian reference to the saying when I googled it just now. But I’m sure that I also recall my Mum using the expression in some way or other, possibly in a party game? The trouble is, it’s just beyond the periphery of my memory and I can’t check by asking her, sadly.
But I’ll bet one of you clever people know.
