"In danger of making progress!"

Never heard it before, not from Suffolk, but would have got it!

My boss thinks I'm too dry as it is, so I'm gonna steal this genious and confuse the hell out of them!
 
I've used it plenty of times. Just so happened I used it today. Typically in a posh-boy accent (I say!). I also use "Now why would you want to do a thing like that?" when someone states the simple/obvious course of action.

It's not a Suffolk thing (I've not got any Suffolk blood in me) it's a dry humour thing.
 
I live the best part of 300 miles from Suffolk and both understand and use that phrase. :confused: It is also used in other contexts, for example 'You're in danger of going hungry there!' if someone has a large meal.
 
Never heard it before either but it seems very straight forward in it's meaning, perhaps the confused look people gave was to why someone would just come out and say something that mildly crappy to them?
 
Use it quite regularly here in Staffs - we use it a lot at work, particularly as some projects can be an arse to progress.
