"No screws to turn or pins to draw".

Hmmmm, and isn't it the very proper English, from which the author Jeremy Musson hails, that are always "correcting" us Colonials about "improperly" calling pins screws? It being a quote from "the Field", from 1909, is even more revealing.

It would seem that the language of the "colony" is had more of an effect on the British language than they want to admit, eh? blush
