WHY?

Why do you ask Lona?

Why are you interested Aka?

I'm not asking why this thread....

Why do all the bottles for shampoo, etc in the aisle say the make LARGE and what it is, small ??? I have to get close up to find what I want!

Clue may be in the title "Why" and Galen asks for other "why questions"

Why did someone think we would actually appreciate cold caller's intrusion ?

Why am I sitting here on GN when the hoovering is to be done?

Why! Because Gransnet is much more interesting in vacuuming. The dust and dirt will still be there later.

Why not, Ariadne?

Look at this sentence:

The farmer ploughed through the trough. 3 lots of "ough", all with different pronunciations.

Why (or how) does GHOTI become "fish" ?

That was my favourite lesson starter for lessons on etymology. Also, from the work of students I had encountered 'dgog' and "anvenjilly".

Sorry, digressing! Why do I do this? (Why did I ask that?!)

Can you explain "dgog" and "anvenjilly" , please Ariadne

Why do you want to know phoenix?

I get anvenjilly

Because I like knowing things Lona

I got anvenjily anvenjilly but am still working on dgog
DD's History teacher (Sixth Form A level class in selective girls' school) told me once how she had had an essay to mark in which certain Soviet dictator appeared as Starling thoughout.

I too got that one eventually!

Why am I still sitting here in my nightie.

Phew flower; glad I'm not the only one ....

Alieoxon I know the answer to your one . The bottles are labelled in this way so that when you take your glasses off to have a shower you cannot see which is which, which causes you to use the wrong ones in the wrong order eg Conditioner on hair followed by shower gel, which necessitates much rinsing and starting again, which in turn means that you use 2 or 3 times as much of the product, which means you have to buy it more often - Simples.

Why did a person in St Albans write to local authority asking them to 'Please take down the Deer Crossing signs as they keep getting knocked down - there must be a safer place to put the signs for them'

Why is an American tourist supposed to have asked why they had built Windsor Castle so close to Heathrow Airport?

Granny23, you may well be right!

The actual words were, 'Please remove the DEER CROSSING signs from outside our house, too many deer are being killed there and I do not think it is a safe place to cross any more'

Are people lying idiots!!
