when I was very young, coming back on the train with my Mum from a trip to the seaside where we had seen an octopus on the beach - I said in a very loud voice that it was covered in testicles :-D :-D :-D [should have said tentacles]

My first at was called Cooking Fat.

It is quite a good idea not to have Tried Chicken from the colonel when you have had a couple as well.

Love the flannel cherries Sharron lol, the one that made everyone lol was when I mentioned Whitama Fatbread, (at the time I didn't realize I'd got her name wrong), the other one is when I asked my daughter if she wanted any Dammie Jodgers! :-)

You have to be careful in the kitchen too, especially if you want to know where the Cooking Fat is. :-)

Market research interviewing is a script you must keep to. Of course, once you have said the wrong word once, the same mistake leaps into your mind each time you read it.

This happened to me on at least two memorable occasions.

Telephones used to be either hard wired to your connection or, later, a plug and socket, not the slug and pocket system I questioned so many people about.

Before the channel tunnel was constructed the only way to get to France was not by cross flannel cherries!

At the end of our morning briefing at work the manager usually concludes with the words "have a good shift". One day last week he forgot that the word shift has an f in it. :-0

Needless to say the staff toilet was a bit smelly by the end of the day. ;-)
