    Potentially a world record I would say. All depends on what you were assembling? 3 Flat Pack tortillas wont get you any awards... :WINK1:

    Good going, Robert. When my son was small he was convinced that some of the fruitier words which my husband used when assembling furniture were simply technical terms for flatpacks. :heehee:

    Achh, the joys of forigenerdom... I remember when we had a new house and I happily declared in loud voice (and my best accent) at the smoking shelter that all of the weekend was spent banging and screwing with Mr Selleri.

    I let the guys simmer in their admirable British correctness all day before letting out that the IKEA delivery finally arrived that Saturday morning. Thee-hee, sorry! :D

    (And really, Sorry! The best of Britishness is displayed with situations like this, even though I was just joking, no-one would never had taken the steps to hint that my phrases were giving an unwanted impression. As long as you pronounce "tomato" correctly the tolerance and acceptance towards us foreigners here is incredible. Thanks, guys. )
