What does it mean?
'It's fiddly to buy eggs one at a time so we box them up in packs of 12'
what does the sentence mean? Could you help me understand the meaning easily.
Top answer
'Fiddly' describes something that is not easy to do, especially if it is with our hands; it is impractical as it would need us to hold one egg at a time. If you were to buy an egg, you would need packaging to protect it and if you bought several, each would have to have a piece of packaging. You would find it awkward to carry one egg without breaking it.
