Geocache Description:


When I first moved to Canada, I often heard an expression that I didn't understand, but which always made me laugh -- "Bob's Your Uncle". As time passed, I came to know the origin of this odd little expression, and now you will too.

“Bob’s Your Uncle” is an expression used in British and Commonwealth countries which means “everything’s fine”, but most people don’t know where it came from. In 1877, British Prime Minister Robert Cecil appointed his nephew as Minister for Ireland. The press had a field day when he referred to the Prime Minister as “Uncle Bob”. Today, it’s often used to show how simple it is to do something -- for example “You put the plug in here, press that switch, and Bob’s your uncle!”.

So now that you know ... go find the cache, sign the log, put the cache back, and Bob's your uncle!

The cache container is currently a tiny magnetic tin (breath strip container), which will be replaced with a more suitable and larger container when the nearby construction is completed.
