You have to be so careful these days. Here follows a genuine email exchange between a friend of mine and his building contractor.

Working through the ‘to do’ list, I’ve had a chat with Dave regarding the above.
It would appear there is a bit of confusion regarding the exact flooring you would like.
He has asked whether he could visit you one evening next week and discuss.
Please let me know if you are available, whereupon we will advise Dave.

How about next wed at 6.30. Am guessing your guy will be there for the day. Two tops?

Now that has brightened up my Friday no end!
Hilarious!
*waits patiently for “I dont get that…” comments*
Found before the Machine-gun Nest of Polite Conversation and overlooked by the Artillery of Class Divide!
It was one hell of a dinner party.
The horror. The horror.
Awwwwww – ‘I don’t get that’ no.1
LOL! We have one!
Stop teasing the nice people, you’re both very mean.
Anne, they’re referring to one half of a Motown vocal quartet.
I was sure that someone would ask, but it *wasn’t* going to be me. Now I feel stupid because I remember the Four Tops. Oh, well, everyone has pathetic days.
