It's a great forum - always plenty of opinion, loads of knowledge and advice given freely - I don't think there is another forum that is as active on the planet - always someone on here day and nighty.
Latest tip from Roger Patterson is that Annie Betts may have invented the phrase. She certainly fits the MO as she edited Bee World between 1929 and 1949, wrote 170 articles, published research into bee fungi (among others), and in-between, as an aeronautical engineer for the RAE at Farnborough, published Empirical Formulae for a Variable Pitch Airscrew, with Applications to the Prediction of Aeroplane performance (1919) and The Effect of Variable Gearing on Aeroplane Performance (1923). Only slight blip to this stratospheric success is that she admitted to being v bad at housework, but who cares, what a star!
