Oooh, forgot about my real talents
1) I can measure butter by sight 100% accurately every time to the gram/ounce (only butter mind, nothing else!!)

2) I seem to have the knack for picking the perfect presents, not since I started buying/making things when I was a nipper have I ever failed to be hit by a moment of inspiration for someone. Hence I end up helping others with their present buying or their kids/partners/in-laws etc. I should charge commission.

That's it though, for everything else I am a bit shit.

Way too many smartarse answers to that one...
...but I would say a 3/4 length cashmere or wool mix army coat in purple or cerise.

I'm glad you didn't go smartarse.
