NorthBrit Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 This is true! I do all the cooking in the house,(because I love to cook). Mrs NorthBrit doesn't have much strength in her arms, so cannot handle a kettle. Therefore I make the tea/coffee etc. Whilst she was in Los Lounges she asked me to get her a 'can of pop'. Because she is in Los Lounges she must think it is 'all inclusive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB-AU Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I don't think self isolation is having any effect on me. But I do find it odd that one bag of rice has 8956 grains and the other has 8743, 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 That's a bit like one of the "Follow The Instructions" tests. There are loads of them, this one is for kids but there are adult ones as well. They sometimes even use them at interviews to see who is paying attention. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of them, this one is for kids but there are adult ones as well. They sometimes even use them at interviews to see who is paying attention. I used to do this with kids before school exams, in order to illustrate how much they should concentrate on reading each part of a question carefully and understanding each item they read, before moving on. The kids enjoyed it because it made them laugh, but the point had been made and their answers were likewise better. Julian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Melrose Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 The perfect exam paper would have a first question which it was impossible to answer within the time allowed to complete the whole exam while the remaining questions would all be trivially simple to answer. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
