Might be a reprise of an earlier complaint, but lack of the most basic geographical knowledge.

Just watching Question of Sport. The answer to a question was Belgium which the team knew but all Sam Quek had to do to answer correctly was 'point' to the region on a map of Europe which contained Belgium, so basically mainland Western Europe. NOT AN EFFING CLUE, picked somewhere in Eastern Europe, probably Hungary.

So you in turn couldn't accurately identify the area on a map of Europe this bloke pointed to? Hmm

Currently (ho ho ho) there is a lot of activity on forums, fb pages, etc about solar panels, home batteries and suchlike. Lots of people asking for advice and plenty of them get confused by the correct units for power and energy - kW and kWh respectively (others are available but those are the ones in general use). Those people don't annoy me, and neither do those who try to explain the difference - it's those who pile in saying "it doesn't matter, everyone knows what they meant".

What's with all the stupid s waving huge flags on 20' poles?

I don"t have high opinions of anyone who goes to Glastonbury, but those s? fking s.

What the juddering fk are you on about? What bloke? Sam Quek is female for a start.

I can and did identify where Belgium is on a map including that one on QoS. The audience were openly laughing at the team discussing this issue. At one point all three of them were wandering around the studio floor display trying to decide where Belgium was.

Where she stood was somewhere around Hungary. You don't get a sufficiently close enough view of the map to be anymore precise from the overhead camera position. Certainly wasn't anywhere near Belgium.

Sam Quek, a bloke. LoL.

Alright, so everyone except me knows what we're looking at. Something to do with coffee, I'm guessing.

It's the cap off a milk container.

Doofus must have been living under a rock for a thousand years to claim not to know that.

We must live under neighbouring rocks because I had no idea either. Absent perspective it looked like a much bigger top.

A thousand years sounds about right though, every joint creaks. smile
