Answer to previous:

6 x 1 + 20 winks at 14th non-U housebreaker:
they're equally responsible (3,2,3,3,4,1,5,2,3,5).

(Thanks to Richard Barwell for bringing this to my attention)

6 x 1 + =3D SIX OF ONE AND
20 winks =3D HALF A DOZE
14th non-U =3D FORTEENTH
house =3D HO
FORTEENTH HO =3D N OF THE OTHER (breaker =3D anagram)
they're equally responsible =3D SIX OF ONE AND HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHER
