Blue Sky Thinking?

[Mr Veritas]

In the recent series with Heston Blumenthal & Little Chef,
Mr Pgler (MD of Little Chef) kept referring to "Blue Sky Thinking".Is this a recognised expression,or just something he has thought up?

[ummmm]

You have to think outside the box...!!!

[legendis.god]

sounds like typical american workspeak


squaring the circle


running with the idea

thinking outside the box

and brainstorming are equally irrtating and useless expressions

[Mr Veritas]

A blue box I presume! LOL

[imaledge]

explain how these are useless legend??

[Macca1975]

Unfortunately it's a real phrase!

thinking that is not grounded or in touch in the realities of the present; open-minded thinking (i.e., as wide and clear as the blue sky)

Thanks macca,
That explains a lot.
I think Mr Pegler's head is up there with the blue sky!
