I bought two bags from BHS but did not realise that they came in
thousands. Now I have a surfeit.
As with decimal points.

In another group*, long ago, we had a long-running thread in which we
developed a story-line which had us all riding elephants around the
world and encountering strange and surreal experiences. Suffice it to
say that my elephant was called Rolling Thunder.
* OK, it was H2G2 and I was the Keeper of Acronyms and Other Small Furry
Creatures. I told you it was surreal.
