Talking of cheapies - Netto have a garden shredder next week. Claims on
one hand that it's "silent" and on the other hand that it's "94dB".

Hmmm. Or perhaps HMMMMM.

We know that their marketing people are semiliterate, so being
innumerate as well would
be entirely possible.

As long as they can count to 5 or 6 (max quantity in a stack of boxes),
that is good enough. There is even a little graphic on the side to
help with this.

I suppose that they must find counting cauliflowers intellectually
challenging, though.

The message
from Guy King contains these words:

Then again, in a while they're selling a toaster with "Built-in
controls". Saves losing the remote, I suppose.
