£200 down to £100 is a 50% reduction surely?!

He did say that and Excel agrees with you.

I did wonder how he did the maths. Although, £100->£200 is a 100% increase (possibly) so maybe he just got confused while randomly decided on food prices.

Tesco???!

Nothing wrong with being a duck

Ducks = cute they are always smiling

I thought it was because they were constipated?

Anyway I was on about duck quacks not echoing but apparently my own Uni has proved that they do.

Although I'm trying to avoid this like the plague, my parents watch it and try to tell me about it, despite my protests! This was one of the bits my mum mentioned. I believe her words were 'One of them can't spell and another can't do basic maths'.

I think this is half the appeal of the show. We all love to watch people with egos the size of Jupiter but who constantly trip up on the most basic of tasks.

Like scaling the number of tomatoes. Shouldn't be too hard.
