There is a practise within fervent religious groups within Northern Ireland, that they hand out tracts taken from The Bible to people whom they meet in public, everywhere.

I had to explain to this lady that the world was not about to end; in the absence of any evidence to the contrary that it was rational not to believe in God; that I did not live in fear of burning in hell for eternity because I had not repented for my sins; and that I did not need to read a book written two thousand years ago in order to have meaning in my life.

Her son who was with her, eventually hauled her away to do her shopping when I tried to explain the irrationality of her beliefs which were a clear symptom of mental illness, called Schizotypism.

It amazes me repeatedly that some people still believe in this nonsense!

I was working in a warehouse while university, part of the interview process you had to demonstrate basic maths skills via a test (there were a lot of working out for the position I was applying for). It was me and one other guy and he was quite visibly nervous, I asked if he was all good and he just looked and replied “yeah I just don’t know how to use this properly”. He held up his ruler and I let out a little laugh, but he wasn’t laughing with me. He genuinely didn’t know if you start measuring from 0 or from the very end (there’s always roughly half a centimetre of plastic before the 0). I reassured him and told him from the 0. It really shocked me and it’s quite a sad story that all his years in school he must have been holding onto that not telling anyone, who knows what else he’d kept hidden and not asked about.

I love talking to young people, busy texting on public transport, about how, within living memory, people did not even have telephones within their homes, and that to make a call you had to go to a red public phone box, if you were lucky, that was located at the end of the street.

Amusingly, some think that I am just telling them lies; and depressingly, some others reply that their grandparents had told them that that was how things used to be, in their childhood!

That the milk in a carton doesn't come from only one cow.

I had to do this after having to open a fresh carton of milk after the first ran out while preparing breakfast cereal for the said individual. They became quite distressed at the thought of me mixing milk from two different cows.

The strangest part was still yet to come though. I asked if they'd ever seen a milk tanker to which they replied yes. But they then explained that these were for moving cows around to the places where they filled up the individual cartons. I had to leave it there. My brain was beginning to hurt.

"That not all chicken eggs can hatch in to chickens, only fertilised ones

Many years ago, showing my age. I was in London area with relations. I was then as now living in Reading. Which then was a lot of countryside and farm land etc. Talking about food , I said about seeing live farm animals etc . The teenagers 18 and above were convinced that , beef , pork ,chickens etc came from supermarkets

. They had no idea how meat was produced. This was proved a few years back . On a tv program. River Cottage , Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall . When he took people to has small holding and then showed , birth , etc growing up and then taken two abattoir . Cut up and sold as meat joints etc.

It seems it doesnt matter what a percieved "straight" person does in their life no matter how gossip worthy it is but if people wonder if your bi or shag same sex they talk ..they are not all straight and angels anyway

That Brexit would mean the loss of many benefits we have come to take for granted, cause major disruption to international trade, cost a great deal of money, have little tangible benefits and that no, the NHS wouldn't get an extra £350 million a week.

Exact opposite, in fact. It serves a purpose. British Olympic cycling team were told to stop shaving etc, as pubes and arse hair help them avoid saddles sores etc
