Pedants' Corner

[Bob Olive]

Did you know that if you got everyone that worked for the Gas Board and laid them all end to end, they still wouldn't reach to our house.


(I hope someone else didn't start a thread like this over a year ago and it died...)

Nothing to do with pedantry really, but your quote about the Gas Board reminds me of one the Dorothy Parker classics " If aal the girls at Vassall were laid end to end, I wouldn't be at all surprised." 

I quite like the sound of Pedant's Corner - room for all kinds of rants... and help save threads staying on track?
