Mandy, you sound just like me then I used to work as a cashier, when everything was written in ledgers, and I regularly transposed numbers when carrying them forward I was not popular!! Then of course when we went mechanised I typed the numbers in the wrong way round!!! ;-))

Mandy, it is not naval and the nightwatchman starts with B (btw, you haven't a warped mind, as a 'blue stocking' you are naturally intelligent) ;-))

Donald, yes it is ticked ;-))

Susie and Christine, there is a knack to them. I think having a warped mind helps, and I certainly have one of those. If anyone regularly misreads things that to others appear quite innocent it is me ;-))
