I have hacksaw too to cross with cowman (and ratboy) ?

I thought it was Newman and Baddiel - not that I've ever heard of either of them. Interesting that there seem to be two quite feasible answers.

Chambers has 'hawk from a handsaw', but I felt Hacksaw worked better.

Thanks all.
I've gone with handsaw and worst too. Best and worst
The N in handsaw being the crosser down for Newman and Baddiel (Villain ,baddie) and L ( learner)

Sorry ,I cut myself off.
The L being ( learner or rookie )

It must be HAWK and HANDSAW (Shakespearean, probably originally 'hawk and harnser' - the latter an old word, still in use in E Anglian dialect, for heron). So the Baddiel/Newman solution is correct.
