Now there's a word I never did quite understand. There is an old expression a fellow here quotes. It's something like..."No matter how wee the tree ha been, the g cramp... she's a muckle weer." Which I suppose is to say, seems the carpenter, when estimating what size of clamp needed to hold wood in place, always comes up with a clamp just a tad too small?? (we tend to underestimate things?) Sorry for the crude Canadian distortiion of what I am sure is a great Scottish expression. Any repair advice on this old saying will be appreciated.
