	I had forgotten one of the market research jobs I did. I had to ask people if I could measure their toilet roll holder with a special guage with which I had been thoughtfully provided. You had heard that I would do anything for money hadn't you?

	I remember a few years ago when you booked a hotel room you had to pay a single person supplement if you were on your own, it was then realised you were paying for two people but it was just you. So the price stayed the same but the wording was "sleeps two"
