Buy a drink.

£3.10

I hand over 2 £2 coins.

The barmaid recoils in terror, shrieking "Them confuse me".

I explain, in small words, the 4 pounds minus £3.10 requires 90 pence in change.

To no avail. The fear is palpable.

I hand over 4 £1 coins and am calmly handed my change.

This makes no sense.

Did you get a vanilla shake or a giant coke?

Ah, barmaid. This bloody reading malarkey's tricky.

Perhaps, but that has to be weighed against the fact she'd be considered a boffin there.

What are you doing in Romford?

[mitzy]

My what a class area where you live.

[Justayellowbadge]

Her name, I have just discovered, is 'Channel'.

Pronounced 'Chanel'.

I despair.

That's what minimum wage in a menial job buys you.

Don't worry, before long everyone will get an A* in their school exams and thus will be perfect at numeracy and literacy... just keep believing!!!

I have to admit I'd have insisted on paying with the 2 £2 coins...

We always knew the Croydon - Wimbledon tramlink would lead to something like this, yet were unprepared for just how bad it could be.

That's a bit harsh. If he can spend £3.10 on a drink he's doing OK.

Were I frank, I'd have to say perfect, in the way that only being 19 and concenrating on nothing else career wise can achieve.

She would lose an argument with her bra, however, which makes me think dressing must be an extended and tiring process, even on the good days when the left/right paradox fails to trouble either brain cell.

Someone post up that "thread no good without pictures" image, please.

Reminds me of a Holiday Hotel in Telford, that is not an Inn….Check in, they take a swipe of card which guarantees 60 quid, I spend 96.30.., checking out in the morning, they want another swipe of card, “ we need difference between what you authorised, and spent”, OK, no probs…

GETS CALCULATOR OUT!!!

“Maths was never my strong point”

Well, for a start it is not Maths, it is Arithmetic, and this, obviously, this was not a strong point either!

FFS it is 36.30!!
