In Pound land today "Mum if I had £50 could I buy fifty things?" yes I replied and the cashier said "you need to check your maffs she could buy 500 things" OMG
I learnt a long time ago not to argue with stupid, I encounter stupid quite a lot - it takes up to much precious time!

I work in a well known supermarket, and one of my team asked if USA was included in a B.I. & Eu sat Nav!!
to make you laugh even more my niece manages Realm of Reptiles in Bletchley and a woman recently popped her head in the door and asked if they has snakes in there. yes came the reply - so the lady said I can't come in as I'm frit (exact word) of snakes - could you pass me out some fish food came the request, No was the answer she then accused my niece of poor customer service and of being rude to her. This is a reptile shop madam so says the lady you should sell fish food cause they are reptiles.

Years ago I read a newspaper report about two American tourists overhead commenting after a visit to Windsor Castle.
"Well, it's very nice but I wouldn't have built it so close to the airport".
Unfortunately I can believe all these stories !!!
Windsor Castle one made me laugh out loud!!
It reminds me of the lady in the fish shop,

I had a moment like this not so long ago. Went to buy tickets for a music festival for my hubby, the Festival is called "Jazz in Vannes". Vannes is the name of the town, which to top it off is only an hour down the road. You can guess the question when I asked the young girl at the ticket counter for tickets to 'JAzz in Vannes'... 'And where is that festival?'
My son looked at me, willing me by telepathy to say something like "Madrid" but I was sure she would then punch Madrid into the computer and tell me the festival didn't exist!!!!
We did laugh when we left the store.
saw a whole family with loads of bags and stuff in the Underground obviously baffled by the Tube map, so I went over to help
where do you want to go to?
