I did once overhear in a train station Tourist: "What's the cheapest way to get to Plymouth?" BR chap: "Walk" They're probably sent on courses these days to be more helpful, although you can't fault him for accuracy.
The stupid questions that irritate me the most these days; TV reporter: "how upset are you that your family home of 30 years has been washed away in a flood?"

“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
I was hanging around the entrance of a supermarket waiting for OH. There was a woman trying to encourage people to sign up for having portrait photographs taken of their nearest and dearest. She approached me "Good morning, do you have children ?" (very flattering to be asked that at my age). "No" l replied. "What about grandchildren ?" I was tempted to say that if l didn't have children, it would be difficult for me to have grandchildren, but l think l know what she was getting at.
