Amistad
(Preview)

A couple of them guessed that it was a ship but couldn't tell me what it was famous for. One person said it was a film. Another person tought it was an ex Soviet s...

How much is my dinner?
(Preview)
I started work in this building 9 months ago. At that time, the meals in the canteen were priced at £3. Pretty reasonable for canteen fayre, I thought.
Early this year they jacked it up to £3.30 a meal. Not too bad, again, but the food wasn't exactly cordon bleu - chips and peas with everything, you know...

I'll have to call you back. I'm busy being very rude to someone else at the moment.

Do these people n...
