My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave
the girl a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a Twenty pence
piece
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but that way you can just give me a pound back
.'She was puzzled and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my
request. I did so, and he handed me back the 20 pence and said 'We're
sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.'
The girl then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change!
Do not confuse the staff at MacDonald's.

We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR repairman told us that
one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the
opener.
I thought for a minute and said that we had the largest one GARADOR made
at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Madam, you
need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not.
Four is larger than two.

We haven't used Garador repair since. Happened in Moor Park, Nr Watford UK

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the local
town council office to request the removal of the "DEER CROSSING" sign on
our road.
She said the reason was: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I
don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he
was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an Irish airport
employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your
knowledge"?
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?"
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
Happened Luton Airport ... UK

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was
crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She asked if I
knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when
the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'what on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
She is a Local County Councillor employee in Harrow, Middlesex, UK

When my husband and I arrived at Our Local Ford dealer to pick up our car,
we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly
to unlock the driver's side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door
handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
'Hey,' I announced to the Fitter/Mechanic, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I have already done that side.'
This was at Ford dealership in St Albans, Hertfordshire UK.

A coach party were out for the day, stopped of at a refreshment halt in
Hertfordshire and queued up for tea and coffee. One group asked for "Six
decaffeinated please", to which the girl replied: "Sorry, we only do
coffee!"

STAY ALERT! They walk among us, and the scary part is that they have the
RIGHT TO VOTE and to PRODUCE!
Hey! You mean the UK is about to reach Mississippi IQ levels ?:-)
