I have a cracker to tell you on what happend at work yesterday. Lee one of the lecturers was on the phone trying to find a place that sold black contorboard a kind of shelving. Anyway he found a supplier and the guy on the phone asked Lee what length he wanted.
Lee: 1.5 meters by 2 and 1/2 feet, which at this point everyone stares at Lee in disbelief.
Lee then asks the guy on the phone how much the shelving will cost. Robert one of the other lecturers answers £10 4 shillings totally brilliant.
