    As they say tea does make everything better lol.

    My nan would suggest that for every ailment and upset going.

    Ooooo cake. My niece had carrot cake and chocolate custard at school today. Now although both seem rather yummy do you think they actually go together :rotfl:

    ok then... things that you've seen happen that you've laughed at when you know you shouldnt....

    me - customer at work counting out 5p's, "thats 5,10,20,30,40,60" Me - "No thats 30p", them "no its 60 there", me "not unless the bank of england changed the size of a 10p piece whilst i blinked"

    I could almost see the logic in the counting, but when I pointed out the error quite politely and people argue with me than I have no choice but to make a clear cut example of their stupidity...

    Awww that reminds me of my nan.

    When they changed over to the new £10 notes I said to her I would take any she had to the bank for her before they become obsolete.

    She rang me and said she had £20. So off I trot to pick them up and she actually and £200 and she couldn't get her head around them being £10 each not £1.

    The scariest thing was she had been keeping them in her bathroom cabinet :eek:
