Some years ago I was talking to one of my school masters about free school milk. I jokingly said I had had 14 bottles that day and said that figure as such that it would not be taken seriously. The next day at assembly the head Master berated us about greed etc and remarked that had come to his attention that one boy had had 14 bottles of milk.
Often happens to me believe called Hyperbole

We all get that I think and if you can say it with a straight face and without smiling then many will believe anything these days. I mean, as you know, I believed that our politicians would get us out of the EU  |

Hoped to start a new theme/ thread to provoke some interest in board . Going political seems to have ended that.

Another Attempt
Some time ago a friend asked me help regarding documentation regarding some Pension Policies he had. I needed to certify his and his wifes birth and marriage certificates were authentic. This I duly did and gave the stuff back to him. I did this as a favour and had no intention of charging. How much do I owe you he said.400 guineas I said as a joke. His face fell thinking I was serious.

During a lunchtime, sunshine walk with a mate. We came across a guy with a very small ladder, that was never going to do the job. My mate mate said (in Del Boy style), “that’s not his Real ladder”, “it’s his Step Ladder”. Any closer?  |
