Endless tasks
Return to DiscussionsHere in the UK, if a task goes on and on we say "It's like painting the Forth Bridge". Today they finish painting the Forth Bridge. Thanks to new methods, it took (only) 10 years todo and the paint will last 20 years. So the 400 painters will have to find something else to do.
But whatdo we use nowto describean endless task. Is it pushing a boulder up-hill? Is it sweeping up the Autumn (Fall) leaves? Any suggestions?
