Tone Change On Vintage Concertinas?

[JimLucas]

As the man said: "Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer choice."

I always heard that as: "Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer chances."

Well, yours is a new formulation of the old saw to me.

Difference between British and American cultures?

I've always heard "takes your chances." I grew up in California. Google prefers "choice" 3040 to 1820.

Just wanted to see how many levels of quote the system would handle

At least one more, I guess.

Now look what I've started !

There seems to be no way out of this labyrinth.

It looks like a set of steps,

... But are they rising to a peak,

...... Or descending into the depths?

I know!

... We're looking into an accordion bellows!

I don't follow. Does this mean you do or do not think that the tone will change with use???

The tone of your concertina? Probably not.

... The tone of the posts in this Topic? Well, I doubt that they'll get more mellow.

So it could also mean making a big deal over the difference between £2999.95 and £2999.99

And believing that is vastly different from 3000.

Hi Samantha,

 

I always thought the quote about penny and pound meant what you thought. And also Jim.

 

I learned the other quote as you take your chances.

 

Guess we all have different sayings from our youth.

And guys, thanks for the accordion bellows.

 

It got to be quite pretty.

It all depends on your perspective.

to return to the original thread, this is becomming quite baffling.

 

Oh, and to be 'penny wise pound foolish' means to miss the big picture by trying to save a couple of pence and ultimately risking loosing a lot more by that same action.

Ah, yet another interpretation.

So what do you all think is the meaning of, "A rolling stone gathers no moss."?
