'Sayings'

[majorwoody]

When you hear someone recall a phone number. It's always an 'O' not a 'Zero'. Makes my blood crawl lol.

Thanks for all the contributions, folks. I particularly enjoyed Box Basher's..... Hadn't heard it before.

Now see 'Best Puns' (if you can stand it....)

Heard a good one the other day,"as fit as a fiddlers elbow"

Think she mean't to say ,"as fit as a butchers dog"

 

[Belrose]

Hmm..... a fiddler's elbow does get a lot of exercise but I like "in and out like a fiddler's elbow".

Although if you speak to BT etc... a zero in the first part of the number
(0870, 0845, 0161, 07956 etc) is always spoken as "oh". For the rest of the number, a "0" is spoken as "zero".
