Years ago, I mentioned to my wife about a "Around the World" prize in a competition.

"Where to?", was her reply.

But here's another beauty.....

Before the days of offspring, we used to stick loose change in various receptacles, to fund "free" trips to the boozer, restaurant, etc.

When I enquired one day how much was in the "20p jar", SHMBO proudly piped up, "about £9.50!"

The management company organized for the flats to be painted in the hallways, the dopey painters went to the wrong block of flats and then the management company wanted more money off us, fat chance.
