It's not just a turd, it's one of the most desperate metaphors we use


I despise the way the word 'tools' has been bastardised from its construction industry roots for use in ponsy, entirely theory based pursuits such as psychotherapy and marketing to project a veneer of working class gravitas.

The Children's Workforce Development Council prise open their toolboxes each day to reveal the following items of real practical use in a maintenance environment:

cup of tea
bag of crisps
piece of plasticine
dolls house
