121 Fred Karno's army outfit
Любая дезорганизованная или неэффективно работающая группа людей. Это выражение появилось во время Первой мировой войны, когда была спешно проведена призывная кампания в британскую армию, которая сравнивалась с гастролирующей труппой под руководством Фреда Карно (Fred Karno) (вернее, Fred John Westcott), чьи представления отличались эксцентричностью и непредсказуемостью. Сейчас почти любая ненадёжная организация может быть названа так.The Russian post office/The Benefits Agency/Head office is a bit of a Fred Karno's outfit. — Русский почтамт/Агентство по пособиям/Главное управление немного похожи на труппу Фреда Карно.
