The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno’t mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

    Yes - I can read it nearly as well as the normal version. I (think I) see the word as a whole but also see the spelling of it. Ummm, wondering if that 55 out of 100 is correct, or whether it's a made-up statistic for the purposes of the test. (I've no idea - as I don't know everything!!:))

    Nice little M&S shop done this morning using both vouchers :T Could not find any more though.

    Also got Dr Who series 7 DVD set for £3.75 in T. Thanks to the OP for this, DH is very pleased.

    I have seen different versions of this text, but only this one with the statistic ... so you're probably right, that it is made up.

    Right. Enough procrastinating. I'm off to the bigger T's. I desperately want a good camera for my dad's birthday.

    Wish me luck!

    Loads of greatly reduced stuff in my local today. Best reduction was a flat pack Eco composter. SEL was £30, scanned at 75p. Small round Llandemann bbqs £2, large tubs slug killer 10p, liquid drop orchid feed 10p and electric propogator 25p. Staff bringing heavily reduced stuff out all the time. Spent 4 hours in there! :eek:

    Forgot to mention that it's worth scanning anything to do with garden as it's all reduced. Hardwood handle BBQ tools were 10p.

    Hi,
    If this is the pr@&cot store I think you may have been talking to my DW, regarding how I left a large quantity of propogators in another branch priced at 25p:beer:
