Jeez, reading this thread is like watching one of those interminable infomercials so familiar to insomniacs.
I have, therefore, decided it's wine o'clock. Anyone care to join me?

Don't you still have that as your holiday home?

The Dunning-Kruger effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

Time for Safe Collections to retire to a little cottage called Dundunning.

Another fantastic CUK coincidence! Just turned on PC to search for name of place I got some curtains from and had a quick look at CUK first. My curtain place is Dunnings Mill. Who needs Google when we have CUK?

PS Oh no it's Dunhelms Mill but close.

Here's the thing: if I ever wanted money collected, the last people I would go to are Safe Collections, whose poster is demonstrating a level of cretinism that is notable even by CUK standards.

+1. Better off getting MF tanked up on cheap cider and sending him round.

For clarity - peculiar in the sense of "belonging exclusively to". Hence I'm referring to your (collective) ignorance over this specific word, not a general culture of ignorance, though that does seem to have become quite prevalent in the UK over the last few years.

No clarification required, we had assumed you meant our collective ignorance as opposed to our "odd" ignorance.

[NotAllThere]

The peculiar ignorance?

Noted.

Please don't pretend wikipedia is a reputable source :P And if you look at that entry closely you'll see the only links refer to American entries Eg. "Consumer Credit Protection Act" &
"FDCPA (the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act)"

Melancholy duns came looking for him at all hours.

I don't think that Orwell was running Oracle or SAP in 1933, but I might be wrong.

Of all he had received from Lady Bellaston, not above five guineas remained and that very morning he had been dunned by a tradesman for twice that sum.

[Safe Collections]

sorry you are missing a bit of an in joke, SAP versus Oracle.

Normally SAP has 20 varieties of the kitchen sink, with Oracle you are lucky if there is a water main.

When a user on Oracle says 'I wish it could do X' a SAP expert says 'SAP can do that and A-Z and 0-9' annoyingly they are normally right.

Therefore if Oracle can do it then it must be common.

As I said its likely that SME do similar but don't call it Dunning.

I would stop digging if I were you.

But we are almost out!
