The Phrase/Idiom is common usage in England, especially Cumbria, and refers to someone or something that has caused damage during an attempt to fix or mend an item. The phrase derives from the late 19th century, and rumour has it that is stems from a time when a man, Winston Cunningham, was hired to renovate a house but instead caused it to fall down after damaging the foundations, although there is no firm evidence as to this being a genuine source.
