Ever wondered why we “let the cat out of the bag” or “hit the nail on the head”?
The English language is full of weird and often confusing expressions!
This talk will "spill the beans" on the origin and strange stories behind these phrases, so the next time you hear them, they won’t "throw a spanner in the works".
About Alan Jones
I have had the good fortune to enjoy several very different careers. I trained as a State Registered Nurse then moved across to Complimentary Health and trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. Later I changed career completely and joined the BBC as a Journalist, Presenter and programme Producer. I returned to hypnotherapy in 2004 and now have two busy therapy practices in London and Hampshire. I have always enjoyed meeting and speaking to members of clubs, societies and large companies, I offer a range of unusual topics that are entertaining and educational. On average I speak about 6-8 times per month and have booking up to 2 years ahead. I always offer last minute bookings opportunities when a scheduled speaker has to cancel at short notice.
