Admit your ignorance - things you've only just realised/learned

I wondered why my bathroom sink was subject to intermittent blockages. I took out the U-bend and found a piece of broken glass pivoting in it. It was effectively acting like a reed valve!

Surely a butterfly valve?!

I would be wondering why there was broken glass in the u-bend

I would suspect kids

A clock fell off the wall into the sink a few years ago. Some of the smaller pieces of glass went down the plug hole (it's a modern one without a grate).

I've just realised that our bathroom sink is broken. The give away is the hole in the porcelain.

And that there's water all over the floor.

Not that my wife noticed when she was using it.

I'm usually the only man in my daytime gym classes. 50 years after women's liberation it's still the men who go out to work and the women who stay at home.

You do gym class in women’s homes?

I used to do that many years ago - a "step" class when they were popular

There were generally one of two men - often just me

Always felt weird - worried that some of the women thought we went to the back so we could look at them - when we were just embarrassed to be there at all
and anyway - the ones at the front were always very good at it and knew all the moves!

I'm often the only man in my yoga class. It never occurred to me that it's to do with the numbers of working men and women.

Only when their husbands aren't around

Going over the bill on the M62 yesterday saw a sign for the Halifax Piece Hall always thought it was the Peace Hall

At the age of 62 and three quarters I’ve just realised that it’s better to wear un-ironed shirts because the more crinkly the shirt looks the less crinkly the face seems.

Duly noted, thanks! 😆

Marks & Spencer curries are much nicer than the ones from my local Indian takeaway.

Do you mean the ones in cans or do they do a more 'takeaway' type ?
