Worth a try. Guessing it didn't work?
Also - when you bend down to tie your shoe laces and try to think what else you can do while you're down there....
Thanks,

I take it we're all hearing Denis Norden's voice when reading these.
My fave of his: "When you bend down to tie your shoe laces, and ask yourself if there's anything else that needs doing while you're down there".

Going to the shop for some groceries and coming back with a damn great bagful which doesn't include what
what you went for in the first place.

That's alright, Pete.
It's if -after counting it out in their hand - you say "....and that makes 10 pounds" (or whatever the amount is) that the game's up!
