Two questions of earth shattering importance

  1. ‘Kingsbridge, Devon - where on earth is that - Somerset ?’
  2. ‘Look, Norman. There’s something wrong with this darned phone again. Why is everyone continually engaged; my mum, my sister, Phyllis and now Doreen ?’

Answers:

  1. Kingsbridge is in Devon.
  2. There is nothing wrong with the telephone. Your mother, sister and close friends have a tendency to spend an inordinate length of time on the phone.
