Appears to be an anagram of W U L and SEAT BELTS.
Not in Chambers but supported by the ODE. An outer sign of worry perhaps.

Jono, well done - and it's a phrase I have never seen or heard in my entire life! I am much more familiar with the similar phrase, where the first word is the same and second word starts and ends the same. Thinking about it now, neither phrase really makes much sense - I will read up on the origins!

Sorry, you have mistaken. I just copied the solution from the site and pasted it. The solution is always in capital letters in the site.
