it's a phrase from a brit tv series that has been running off and on for 40 yrs or so called
Rumpole of the Bailey about an ageing London barrister who defends clients on a random basis, some dubious and unlikely to do his career prospects much good - His wife, Hilda, gets frustrated at his lack of ambition/achievement so there is a tension between them, he pretends to falls in line with her wishes hence the SWMBO title he uses when she isn't around.
Re:Must admit for me its the Japanese railway models I prefer
Yes the train Japanese 'classic' designs are attractive, one of the hi tech ones looks like something out of Flash Gordon, the si fi film.
