Yep.

Fun can still be had though. Surveyor friend asked me to help him lay out a site. Field into 'plots'. And although a more than successful yachtsman and navigator, it became apparent that 345 didn't feature in his knowledge.

Sent him off with the tape reel and giving him different multiples of 3,4 and 5 on each occasion that we had to establish a right angle. Wish I'd videoed it. The more that I hysterically giggled, the larger the multiple had to be so that he couldn't hear me.

I've never actually confessed to it...

Until now. Colin.
