Daily Quote: mean relatives
I saw this on the Guardian sport page and quite like the funny expression:
As this Milan side ages, visitors have become like relatives who look at the household belongings such as the Campions League and wonder how soon they might inherit them.
However, when I looked at the same article by Kevin McCarra on Guardian’s website, the sentence became:
It was as if they had come to the home of their ageing relatives and could not stop themselves from stealing a look at valuable belongings, such as Champions League silverware, that they might soon inherit.
Don’t know which is the early version though.
