Good morning class here we go again, happy as can be. I hope some of the new classmates have a go today.



A money-conscious student likes to wear a clean shirt every day. He brings his shirts to the laundromat every Monday morning and picks them up exactly one week later. How many shirts does the budget-minded student need to own so that he has a clean shirt to put on every day?

The answer is NOT 8

Also google Scotland the What Ballater Toy Shop.
You might have to listen a couple of times if you are south of the border. I’m here if you need translations. Hint “futtret”?

Feelingmyage55 Wed 13-May-20 13:30:29

Didn’t - my tablet is misbehaving.

Feelingmyage55 Wed 13-May-20 13:29:23

Miss, the Domini wouldn’t like hearing “youse yins”. The teechurr shud speek proper an all. A touch of the Bearsden ?For those of you who s isn’t read parliamo Glesca in the Sunday post please google the late, great Rikki Fulton on utube. Spend a penny first. ???

Callistemon Wed 13-May-20 13:12:49

shock

Callistemon Wed 13-May-20 13:11:20

Oops, haven't dun the sum yet

Callistemon Wed 13-May-20 13:10:55

I had Ellie Kewshun lessons at school I'll have you know.

Marydoll Wed 13-May-20 13:09:24

That's why we have an affinity. I too was trained by the nuns. Very strict ones at that!!

Charleygirl5 Wed 13-May-20 13:07:25

Marydoll that is why you desperately need an assistant. An early death at such a young age caused by that lot is really not acceptable.

I can well understand stress driving you back to the glesca lingo. Mine would be Fife or maybe from Perthshire if I used my posh voice- had to for the nuns!

Marydoll Wed 13-May-20 12:59:39

tiredoldwoman ? and Feelingmyage ?

I'm afraid I cannot discuss the student's issues on this forum, it would be a breach of GDPR and I'm actually shocked that you expect that.
I will remain professional to the death and youse lot (slipped into parliamo glesca there, due to stress) will certainly be the death of me! ?

Feelingmyage55 Wed 13-May-20 12:42:09

T-shirts

Feelingmyage55 Wed 13-May-20 12:41:37

Miss I don’t think he’s money conscious using a laundry service. I’ve never met a student like him and believe me me I’ve met a lot in the last 40 years. He needs some counselling as this is not normal student behaviour unless he is a prince - I met a few of them over the years but they would have sent their butler to the laundromat. I think the real problem is to introduce him to T-shirt’s, wearing them back to front if there is a stain or even turning them inside out. Also he didn’t take his sox or pants to the laundry.

Pantglas2 Wed 13-May-20 12:37:03

It’s wot Miss is tryin to reestor in the Sentry Room Mary byt she is faylin.....I’ve got lots tho if eniwon wans sum?‍♀️
