Hope this isn't a repost, this is so terribly funny, yet terribly depressing!

i know a women that thought she'd won £500 on 1 of those she went to the shop to find out she hadnt won.

i bein me foumd it highly amusin but she some how failed to see the funny side.

More than 15m adults in Britain have poor numeracy - the equivalent of a G or below at GCSE maths

Terrifying!

The 23-year-old, who said she had left school without a maths GCSE, said: "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.

"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it.

Reminds me of some people on this forum, spouting off with a misunderstanding

How do these people function?

I think functions would be quite beyond them.

Little Britain ?

What? -8 is being bigger than -6, I wants my money, theiving Camellot conners!

"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."

Gold.

this is head bangingly, fist eatingly painful to read.
