Well if you were carrying pasties up a very large hill, and tripped and dropped one, you could said "it's all gone, down hill."

But if you were cycling up the same hill, and got to the top, with a pastie, you could tear open the packaging in the safe knowledge "it's all downhill from here,", and not get a stitch.

Worse. Ive never heard it used with a positive meaning.

"It's all gone downhill" - worse.

"It's all downhill from here" - good.

As in,

"Bollox" - bad.

"Dogs bollox" - good.

Worse. Never heard it as a good term.

Two completely different and opposite things:

"It's all gone downhill" - things have got much worse

"It's all downhill from here" - we've got over the hump/done the hard work and now things are going to get easier/better

That's what I'm sayin Bry', it's a different scenario if your cycling up a hill with a pastie.

What type of Pastie mate? I wouldn't dare go up a hill with my prized cheese beast

Gone down hill = got worse
All downhill from here = getting easier

Sausage and bake bean. As satisfying as reaching the crest of a hill...then rolling all the way down shouting weeeee...
