Just realised something, since the word "Digital" refers to "digits", which is another word for fingers, does that mean a "Digital Cat Flap" is one that is operated by fingers? If so, um...…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I love an arbitrary list that tells me where I fit into society!
And have failed miserably....... with only 2.
I have a nutmeg grater and we do have children's golf clubs, since both Mr B and I play, so we got Miss B a set.
But its always a little disappointing when its not the middle class telling us what the middle class have, just "Brits" talking about what items they have that they perceive to be middle class. When its something as important as this, how can I be expected to improve, unless the information comes directly from my social betters?Comment
