Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. |

When my friend was in the guides, she and a fellow guide were asked to deliver some material to various addresses - they followed the instructions until they came to "ditto" and were asking people if they knew where ditto street was - doh :-S |

She also refused to make any more mint sauce, as picking the mint from the garden stung her hands..... |

....and making Yorkshire pudding with a mix from a packet, wondered why it wouldn't set. She didn't know what fluid ounces were, so weighed out what she thought was the appropriate amount in a bucket on the bathroom scales. About a gallon I think she used. |

OK and the men are not so clever. Coming back from America once, reach security, carrying a digital camera and it took four of us to explain to a member of the military who was assisting normal security for some reason, that you could not open a digital camera to check there was a film in there. :-) |
