Maybe true…

But we have our new States and all the committees have their new presidents. On Monday the members of these committees will be voted for . Then all will change. But the big question will be are things changing for the better? Personally I think they’ve ruined Guernsey beyond the point of no return. But it’s Silly Saturday so let’s believe all will be well once they get going or to word it another way let’s hope there’s light at the end of the tunnel… and this is my saying of the day.

The saying "light at the end of the tunnel" is a metaphor that originated in the 19th century, referring to signs of hope and the eventual end of a difficult or challenging period. While its exact origin is debated, the phrase gained traction in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with some sources pointing to its use in literature and even sermons of the time. The image of a dark tunnel with a light at the end is a powerful visual representation of overcoming adversity.
Here's a more detailed look at its origins:
Early 1800s:
Some sources suggest the phrase may have appeared in the early 1800s, possibly in reference to religious conversion, with the "light" signifying "true religion".
Late 1800s:
A letter from writer George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) in 1879, discussing a bout with illness, is cited as an early example of the metaphor.
Early 1900s:
The phrase became more widely used in the early 20th century, appearing in newspaper articles and other publications.
Figurative Use:
The phrase is generally used to convey the idea that even during difficult times, there are indications that the challenging situation will eventually come to an end.
The image of a dark tunnel with a light at the end is a powerful one, symbolising a journey through hardship and the hope of reaching a better situation or outcome. While the exact origin is unclear, the phrase has become a common idiom used to express optimism and the belief that even difficult times will eventually pass.
