"Yes, it can be confusing. I don't know if anyone else is aware that Camelot do not use the binary numeric system!

Got a cheque from Camelot the other week for ?1000000 - thought it was only ?64 and so binned it!

Why can't they be upfront about the system they use? Who knows how the hexadecimalists cope!"

As another of the commenters says, no wonder they're all in debt!! :D

Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while. 
    • Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however. 
    • I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
