A Yorkshire expression:

The busiest man in town is the one who works for nowt

Another expression is:

Clogs to clogs in three generations


By way of explanation, clogs are worn by the poor and grandfather starts a business and it is a success, his son builds the business and becomes wealthy, the third generation has no real interest in working but is arrogant enough to believe that they need no outside help and makes a hash of the business which fails.

This happens all too often

The Excel user sees January 2nd
