Ignorance"A girl who used to work for me believed that saveloys are made from fish because 'you get them from the fish shop'." Says Richard Mcbeef. He goes on to say "I was getting on for 40 before I became aware that medical doctors don't all have doctorates."
Tell us about your own embarrassing ignorance or that of others.

What time is midday?I invited a friend over for lunch, and he said he'd be there at midday.
He turned up at 1pm on the dot, and I commented on the fact that he was late.
"No, I'm not!" he countered, "I'm right on time! It's midday! 1pm"
I then spent the next ten minutes explaining that midday was 12pm, while he insisted that I was mistaken, and only conceded that I might be right when I pointed out that midnight was 12am, not 1am, and similarly for midday.
He was 42 at the time.
