What's the posh term for punnet or chips then? An overseas guy asked me to explain "dinner time" to him and how it differed from lunch. He was confused when I explained that if you had "dinner" in the evening rather than at dinner time it became "tea"

Chips only come in 2 sizes - bag and roll ie can a huv 2 bag chups n a chup roll. Punnets are for strawbs

All this modern maths leaves me baffled. When I went to school we did adds, take aways, times and goesintos (as in 5 goes into 20, though I think the latest term is divide).

d+d+d= 30.......d=10

d + 2b = 20 .....b=5

b + 2c +2c = 9.... c=1

b + c*d = 5 + 1*10 = 15

This really is taking me back to my schooldays. First BODMAS now something I remember from an English class. After an altercation between a colonel and a dog, a telegram came from HQ:

Shoot colonel on no account shoot dog
