It sounds really funny - particularly given our use of the word.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-30933652795087287502012-10-10T11:40:51.479+01:002012-10-10T11:40:51.479+01:00Why are they called 'flats' when they'...Why are they called 'flats' when they're not actually flat?<br /><br />And don't get me started about thongs.....MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-19517574224481017982012-10-01T21:16:31.530+01:002012-10-01T21:16:31.530+01:00Hi Lynette,

Of course those are the answerable questions, but some are often unanswerable. For example, my favorite one I ask often when walking around the city is:<br /><br />Why the heck are there so many banana peels lying about on the streets?! <br />Are you guys regressing into apes? Followed by, why is there so much trash? Don't British mummies and daddies tell their kids where to properly dispose of it when they're young?DelGalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-58667722018201970962012-09-30T14:12:00.722+01:002012-09-30T14:12:00.722+01:00Hi Mom,
