Congrats marty - I thought that yours was better than mine too!

Thanks paul, and for the clip. I've come across a lot of howlers in my time, but some of those wre amongst the funniest!

Many thanks for the votes steve, rossim and pigale.

Well done BBM and thanks to Paul.

Well done BBM.

Ta to ChrisE and Mattrom for your votes: much appreciated.

Thanks also to FJ and Spike2 for the "likes". Not sure if I should thank Steve for his critique or damn him for being a pedant!

Congrats, bbm. Thanks, paul.

Nemo, I'll take both!

Can someone please parse the winner?

Congratulations Marty
Cheers Paul for hosting and to Chrise and Nemo for the mentions

Well done Marty and thanks for the mention spike.
Lovely word Paul
I can't believe your daughter's 7, I remember when she was born!
Currently in the wilds of Dorset with the family. Mr tesco delivered minus all the refridgerated items. Sorry, can't be helped. Phone head office who phone store manager. Just apologies. "But we are in the middle of nowhere and had you told us we could have shopped on the way" After 3 phone calls we actually get everything refunded, including all the items we have got and fund the missing items in a supermarket 11 mins away.

Nice one, Marty! Cheers, Paul. Enjoyed the clip, especially the examples from the kids who were not necessarily unintelligent, but obviously had a sense of humour. Happy Birthday to your daughter. Thanks for the vote, Aristo. Much appreciated. A warm welcome to algie-whit who will hopefully be a regular contributor.

.......and enjoy the rest of your holiday, Rosalind!

Still looking for a parse of the winner, please ...

Hi Steve
MAT for floor,
CH - central heating

Would have been my choice too, except for a slight question mark over mat=floor
unless I'm missing something, of course!
