Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Double Pearost[1] Many years ago, my Mum decided she was having her birthday party at her Sisters' house.
By and large, my family are based in Dorset. My Mum's Sister lives in the back-end of Northampton. Therefore, people weren't too keen on the travelling.
I was living in Fleet at the time, and said I'd attend said party if I could get a lift with my folks.
Mum: Sorry, not possible.
Me: Why?
Mum: Motorways don't go near towns...
Fleet, as far as I'm aware, is best known for Fleet Motorway Services, about 2 miles away from where I was living at the time.
[2] Colleague phoning Hotel in France to book a weekend away for himself and his girlfriend.
Colleague: Hi - What is your availability of rooms between dates: x and y?
Hotel Employee: Sorry I don't speak English.
Colleague: Oh, ok - when will there be a member of staff available who speaks English?
Hotel Employee: 5pm
Colleague: Ok - I'll call back at 5pm then.....
Cue embarassed look on face of Colleague when he realises he's been strung along...

Fleetis also home to Jaxx, the second worst nightclub I have ever had the misfortune to visit.
