Carrying Ice to the artic

The expression "carrying ice to the Arctic" is a metaphor that implies doing something unnecessary or redundant, much like trying to bring ice to a place where it is already abundant. It suggests that an action is pointless because the resources or elements involved are already present in excess. This phrase can be used to criticize efforts that are perceived as futile or to highlight inefficiency in a task.

My uncle Bob is always carrying ice to the artic.

Going around Carr Vale to get to Bolsover

Taking an unnecessarily long route when an easier alternative was available.

Taken from the idea of someone getting lost on the way to Bolsover and driving around nearby Carr Vale nature park for several hours before finding their way.

Often Bolsover is shortened, pronounced 'Bow'ser'

Example: I just took a 'shortcut' that was 20 minutes longer than my usual route'

'Youve been going around Carr Vale to get to Bolsover'

Carrying the pigs to market

An individual, usually a bloke who walks with his arms out as if suffering from Imaginary Lat Syndrome. Arms held out away from the body as if carrying a pig, under each arm to be sold at the local market.

Look at this skinny clown at the bar - he’s carrying the pigs to market!
