And she even hesitated quite a while before she said it.

Pecs or unless someone has put a photographic or print item within a dessert?

It might be your STD card *phoenix grin

Aaagghhh! Don't these idiots ever stop and think about what they're saying? What on earth did she think the 'proof' was? And anyway, what's it doing in the pudding - shouldn't it be in an evidence bag? grin

Er…...Might I be pedantic and point out that her name is Kirstie? grin

I do agree though.

Oh yes! It's really annoying isn't it?

With you there phoenix ! grin It makes no sense to say "the proof is in the pudding". Unless someone's hidden the gun in it!

I had that programme on , but the sound turned off due to DD trying to have a sensible conversation with me about plant names , so I missed that gem !

Becos they is thick, innit!

Twice bloody twice, she said "the proof is in the pudding".

The phrase, as evry fule nos, (sic) is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating"!

Why do so many people get this wrong?
