I told her to make sure the invoice is with the report so we can send to Argos to claim the fee for the report back from them.
What invoice how does that work? How do we get his voice to Argos. SWMBO was hearing my words as "get the report in voice"



Has anyone else got tales of misunderstandings in translation?

ISP's / Banks are the worst for misunderstanding what has been said to them, even in black & white they misunderstand / misconstrue what is in front of them

It took me ages to get her to say knife and fork.
With her accent the former could easily be misinterpreted by the listener

I'll say no more.

Quote from: TORPC Do not get me started on tis subject

But in this case SWMBO didn't know the word 'invoice' existed so just assumed I meant two separate words
