Mis-heard. And mis-read.

I was dozing listening to the radio early yesterday morning, and "Wake Up To Money" was on. (This is a misnomer; I have woken up to this many, many times - but no more money than I ever have.) Half awake, I would swear that I heard them tell me the Co-Op was buying Sellafield (aka Windscale), a British nuclear facility. I was very, very confused.

It was only later that I realised they must have been talking about a bid for the supermarket chain Somerfield...

Then this morning I was glancing through radio listings in the paper when I noticed that Front Row featured Mark Lawson investigating the role of female dentists.

I had to read it again before I realised it said Mark Lawson investigates the role of the female dramatist.

I'm sure he's good looking (and probably rich), but you have to wonder about someone who spends the whole day with their fingers looking inside other people's mouths. I mean, ugh!

True. Dexterous fingers though ;-)

I can't think what you mean! ;)
