Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: nine days wonder I am sorry Anglika ,I mistakenly thought the phrase you wrote Originally Posted by Anglika

your phrase "Nine days' wonder" is a hypertext link to a website provides a wealth of information about the idiom .
I came to this understanding after reading Bobk's reply to Sanjay .
Many thanks to you Anglika .I am extremely sorry for the misunderstanding.
My thanks to Bobk .
