Nothing to see here

People on the news are silly. I wish they'd just say "fifty-four" instead more "more than fifty". Although such detail is usually unnecessary, exactness is not a bad thing, and the approximate number often takes longer to say!

I suppose saying 'more than' gives an impression of being a large number. Bit misleading especially if it's something like 'more than 100' for exapmple, cos that could give the impression of maybe up to 150! It's misleading and wrong. Exact numbers all the way :)

hehe, yeah. But reminded me: there's this crappy car showroom in Newcastle which always used to have "OVER 25 CARS IN STOCK!" in massive letters on the window... me and my dad thought it was a really funny way of expressing '26'. And wouldn't they have to peel it down and change it to "OVER 24 CARS..." if they ever sold one?!

:) Maybe they had a perpetual replacement order going on!

Amen to that.

I added you, friend :)

I'm just a random, by the way.
