I’ll do anything to avoid an approach from someone ‘reaching out’.
One PR slogan I came across the other day was, Food and drink brands delicious in culture. Much as I revile lazy clichés I’d take them any day in preference to incomprehensible English.
By “Claymore”, do you mean the legendary Scottish sword or the Vietnam era M18A anti-personnel mine?
I always think that the designer of the latter had a very low opinion of the intelligence level of the weapon’s users - otherwise why would the largest text on the device say - in capitals - “FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY”?

Annoyingly, I just lost £20 on a bet on Claymore, running at Newmarket today. Thought it was serendipity but turned out to be zemblanity.
I thought it was a reference to the 1970/80s budget Scotch produced by Distillers PLC, but I guess that’s just my age.
