MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

cockney rhyming slangand another of my northern monkey family to fall foul of the whole london thing: my brother announced to me yesterday that he was a bit "mutton deaf".

"mutt and jeff, you thick twat" was about as kind as i got.
