Hi, Pigale!
"old hat" means out-of -date
a "chestnut" is a stale joke or cliché

Thanks Jazzy - I did look up 'chestnut' in ref books but did not include 'old' to make it an expression.
Live and learn!

Posts crossed Elle - Thanks anyhow; I did not even think of looking in my new book! (shame because 'old hat' is listed) - Not used to having it yet.
