Re: If our cat was a cow...Posted by ESC on May 07, 2007 In Reply to: If our cat was a cow... posted by Joris De Roeck on May 07, 2007 : If our cat was a cow, we could milk her behind the stove. : It's the translation of a Flemish saying, and I wondered if there's an English equivalent (I could really use in a lesson I need to give next week) The meaning is something in the style of "After things happened, you could wish that they went differently, but that's all vain whining". : I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. There are several here: http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/49/messages/1120.html
