Someone said to me recently

you need a long spoon to sup with a Fifer

I have heard this before or something like it. Is there anyone out there who knows what it means.

Hi Malcolm,
It looks like (from a Google) the original saying has "the devil" instead of "a Fifer"

Here's a link:

I'm sure some others will come along soon who can give you a more specific answer.
Regards,
