My suggestion would be 'and forecasters say the worst is yet to come' -
not only because its a cliche but because it is almost
always, unerringly wheeled out precisely when the worst has actually
come and gone!


Am I allowed complain about my mother-in-laws favourite saying of 'oh,
its a top coat warmer here'. She also overuses 'play it by ear' and
'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it', but they are definitely
OT.

also, probably doesn't count as a cliché, but I can't stand 'spits and
spots'
