| As a young sprat, I was prone to rummaging through the bargain bins of various local record shops. |
| So I was down at childcare toot sweet, and took the sprat off to the local. |
| In crude terms, I suppose that one could say that it is a sprat to catch a mackerel, but the message must be got across. |
| Actually, it's probably a sprat to catch a mackerel since they have plenty more stuff that they haven't made available. |
| If you use a sprat to catch a mackerel, you make a small expenditure or take a small risk in the hope of a much greater gain. |
| The catch can consist of eels, cod or sprat but is mainly shrimp and these are sold from Brendon's cottage on the beach. |
