Mad Ade was in his local news agents looking at the various magazines on display, He picked a copy of "Kebabs and Me" a copy of "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Nylon Underpants" and a copy of "Indoor Hang Gliding". He passed the magazines to the shop keeper, who duly entered the amounts of each magazine into the till. "Wow, hang on a minute" said Mad Ade. "You just pressed the multiplication button each time between amounts instead of the addition button." The shop keeper smiled with new false teeth and replied, "it doesn't matter either way, it still comes to £5.70p".
