LOL! At what point does a slab become a block?

Er.... in your very first post in the thread.


I'll rephrase that!

At what point does the interpretation of a 'slab' differ from that of a
'block'?

Same as with some people. Depends on how thick they are.
Let's complicate things and introduce the term slabette.


Ooh yes! When we got our first caravan we had to have a dinette and a
kitchenette, a doorette and ... well, you get the drift.

Daft, innit!

If you can point me to the website of a manufacturer of 2ft deep paving
slabs which I could have used instead, then I'd be most grateful. (44)

You're all so young!

Or is that the number of slabs/blocks/anything between you need?

Mary



That's the number of words in the post, as I was formerly
accused of using "hundreds of words".


By me?

The memory is perfect at storage. Retrieval is more difficult.

Childishness-on-stilts ? Moi ?


HAHAHA!

Indeed. I meant to say that but was interrupted ... by a peekerette.

You may. May I also suggest that you should count all numbers in your
posts as if they were written in unary, giving your post a score of 328?

You're cheating, by not counting the number of words in posts you
requote.

May I suggest that when you have re-quoted your own post, as above, you
should also multiply the word count by the number of times you posted
them before? So, your section which scored 46, should have scored 92
(for repetition) and then added to 24, giving your post a true score of
116.

Janet.



Thank you for that kind thought.

As it implies that my being accused of posting "hundreds of words"
isn't quite as wounding and hurtful, as was maybe intended.

Every cloud has a silver lining, as they say.
