"You can go to the moon and back on 100ma" or something like that (can someone dig up the real quote?)
A 'how are ya' (doing) is a old term term I have heard used to describe to describe what are more commonly called Knackers, Tinkers, Pikies, Gypsys or Travelers. They will greet you with 'How are ya doing Boss' when trying to sell their 'trade'. These days it tends to be guttering or tarmacing your front drive etc. The quality of the job will be terrible. Other common 'trades' are robbing and scrap metal collecting, often combined.

Don't forget that the nude virgins are supervised by crusty old greybeards.
