    This duck - was it a specific species - or did you just calculate the length of an average duck step?
    Was it all in one go, or did you work out stoppage time for sleep, dabbling etc?

    I'm intrigued
    No, it was walking a few hours a day. In the end I concluded that due to the duck not wanting to walk in a straight line (they do tend to wander left to right a bit) and the ovbious hold ups at borders I better take a pair as they'd need to have some ducklings on the way round to quack on with their legacy.


    ** yes I did a quack on crack on joke. I'll get my coat.

    Am I the only one (well woman) on here who has actually worked out how long I spend every year rummaging in my bag for things?

    I'm glad that other people suffer from dementia and not just me.

    How do you cope with the incontinence with a journey that long?

    Client: "Hi Sockpuppet, to what do we owe the pleasure?"
    Sockpuppet: "The "Big" Thursday meeting, we're going through the new operational plan".
    Client: "That's next Thursday".
    ** Checks Phone **
    Sockpuppet: "****. Bye".


    Cue driving home.
