Idiom Scenario 1 Two colleagues are talking ... Colleague 1: Seriously? You have been extolling the merits of this supplier and just when we are about to sign a major deal, you have decided to change your mind and not recommend them? Why the sudden shift? Colleague 2: I wouldn't normally change horses in the middle of a stream but I have just been made aware of some significant issues with the supplier that I had not previously known. These issues are such that I can't back this supplier any longer. I now have to recommend the number two choice for supplier. 🏡 @English_House 🏡

Idiom Scenario 2 Two friends are talking ... Friend 1: We are right in the middle of our one-week kayaking adventure and you want to change our route? Friend 2: I have been looking at the map and I really think that taking a different route would be a lot more fun. Friend 1: Changing horses mid-stream is never a good idea. We haven't vetted this new course. There is no way to change the plans we filed with the Park Ranger's office. What happens if something goes wrong? There will be no way for a search party to find us. Friend 2: What could go wrong? We are proficient and experienced kayakers. I say we try this new route. 🏡 @English_House 🏡
