The thing that amazes me with this quote is not the poor grammar or the poor punctuation or even that the person asking it is unaware of the existence of the Channel Tunnel, but that anybody capable of making those mistakes/not knowing that can then spell "separated" correctly when so few people can.

What do you mean? Everyone knows it's spelled "seperated."

Nah, can't be. The natives have vastly differing attitudes to garlic.

A rather upper-class lady walks up to the reception desk of the Fitzwilliam Museum, in Cambridge:
"Could you direct me to the Ashmolean Museum, please?"

Note - the answer is really quite simple. You come out of the Fitzwilliam, go left a bit, right a bit, straight on, join the M11, follow it for about 30 miles to the M25 junction, then go west for about 45 miles to the M40 junction, then up the M40 for another 30 miles or so and turn left. You can't miss the Ashmolean - it's right in the centre of Oxford.

Might be something to do with the remains of the bomb we found in the engine. Just a thought.

The plane failed to fly right in the crash.

Call me wild, but I think they might have gotten the crash procedure correct. It was just the landing that needed some work.

Also nice to know is that the question was categorized as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered"

Hmm. A "Complaints" category, perhaps?

But called what? People will assume "Complaints" is what they need to click if they want to complain about WIF...

I think it fits in "Travel" with the other recent submissions.

Fair enough - but I think there might be a place for it in the future, because shop staff and sales assistants have to meet the public face-to-face far more than anyone would choose so we may get several submissions of that type in future.
