Mathematical Genius..... NOT.

As a biker I would ask anyone (especially truck drivers) NOT TO BRIM DIESEL WHEN FILLING UP.

I do apologise, I'm not normally that careless but I took my eye off what I was doing. to be totally truthful I got distracted by the nice lady filling up next to me . I'm a biker myself so i can appreciate your concern! Diesel & oil a biker's nightmare!!

Just makes you wonder how they would get on with the pre decimal era? can you imagine?

It's only a couple of years ago (59 now) I sussed out why we had to learn our 12 times tables at primary school

Throw in enthalpy just to confuse them a tad more.

NO NO NO SWD! That word reminds me of hideous chemistry lectures at uni. It made me go all shivery!!

Surely it depends what branch of sparky and what industry.

May have just changed courses...who knows, at uni, they may have been offering a 5 week course in 5 days...

Yes and no is the honest answer there!! I mainly partied and had far to much fun at uni to be honest! Glad I did it though (env.science) but am also glad I retrained and am self employed now. Don't think I could go back to the hum drum of employment again.

... plan was to add enough diesel for the day. pump came up at £15.03

Anyone else remember the Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch with the "nobble" button on the cashiers panel ? Sorry, can't find a video offhand.

Guess I’m another failure then.

I use the diesel pumps that have a 5, 10 or 20 button on them and they stop at whatever value you set. (Ie, press 20 twice then 10, it stops at £50)
Sainsbury’s I think

Actually, I don’t. I just fill until full.

It used to be easier to stop dead on a tenner or whatever. When the price was less than a quid a litre, the value would go up slower than it does these days.

i never fill mine. why carry all that extra weight? 15 gallons weighs as much as an extra passenger.

Ha! if you think that's bad, try Thailand
I worked in Asia for eight years and once bought ten fasteners at 10 Baht each from a small shop. I was bemused to see the cashier get out the calculator, presumably to multiply ten by ten.
I overestimated her. The actual calculation done was 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10. I'm not making this up. I so wanted her to mis-key and charge me 90 Baht.
Yes, and I too grew up doing, in primary school, stuff like a shopper buys five apples at 7d each, how much change from a ten bob note? Then divide £122 7s & 8d between seven people, giving your answer to the nearest grain. Or something like that.
