You got 'a bird's nest out of her gutter.'A customer yesterday said to me as she passed me a cuppa, "do you like marshmallows ? " I said I hadn't had them for years, but I don't mind them. I was expecting a few on a saucer,but she gave me 2 big bags of Haribo party packs ! She said as I got a birds nest out of her gutter, I can have them as a treat. Grendel's window cleaner wouldn't get 15 quid at her house !
Is that a metaphor for something else?
