I work in a school and most of the time there are problems with the computers its because someone hasn't switched them on! As for colour/black and white - last year I was on a school trip with reception/year one to a farm. We looked at the sheep and found that most of them were white, but some had black faces. After lunch, the children drew something they had seen and one boy drew a sheep. He put his hand up and said he wanted to colour in the sheep but couldn't remember what colour it was. I said 'Do you remember some of them had different coloured faces?' and he replied 'Yes. Were they red?'!

Made me chuckle too. It makes you wonder sometimes how people manage to get through their daily lives. Something else to make you chuckle - a teacher at the school where I work was organising a trip for pupils to go and see a play in a London theatre. One pupil asked her 'Miss - is it in black and white or colour?'.

Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer. Help desk: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back. Customer: Okay. Help desk: Did the keyboard come with you? Customer: Yes. Help desk: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard? Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah...that one does work!
