    You can't have your cake and eat it (but, as an aside, if that's the case, what is the actual point of cake?)
    The wording of this saying / proverb has always really been mis-leading, but the actual meaning of the saying is basically trying to point out that you can only eat the cake once. - Once you "have" your cake that means you have already scoffed it then you cant eat that bit of again.

    Hope that helps

      Well I never - that makes total sense and is (on reflection) quite obvious! Thank you for laying this 53 year old mystery to rest!

      • Ridiculous idea re postponement - but, correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t that all it is? Some reporter kite flying?
        A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth over something that hasn’t even happened.
        I suppose it deflects from Sevco being a shambles and Celtic’s ‘managed stagnation’ though.

          Funnily enough, it was against Kilmarnock at Pittodrie (we won 5-0).
          Scheduled for Saturday 7th, it was moved to Thursday 5th.

          Oh, and we'd played against Hibs in Leith on Tuesday 3rd.


          Edit: For all the other CWC ties we played ever Saturday either side.

          • I think the more sensible version of the saying is: ye canna eat yer cake and have it too. It got switched around somewhere, making it more confusing.

                    I’m prepared to contribute, in kind, to a shițe cake to congratulate the current Hampden tenants on their European achievement last week. I predict it will be ready for despatch in the next ten minutes or so.

                      Well, the only realistic solution is to buy two cakes and save one for posterity

                        Save a cake? Realistic? Niver.

                        Tis a bonkers expression though.

                        And Mr Kipling was the height of luxury/sophistication back in the day - at least in my hoose
                        Was affa partial to a Cherry Bakewell.

                              I was watching an old TOTP the other week and Pans People were on and was telling my 17 year old that was the nearest we got to online **** in the 70s.

                              He wasn't too impressed, but I still was.
