Scientis At Oxford Continue To Work On A Cure For R B I D.....

Red Bus Illiteracy Disorder. A strange disease it seems only to afflict remoaners. When they read writing on a red bus, they suffer a rare and complex form of dyslexia. What normal people see as a statement followed by a suggestion, seems to them to be a promise. I believe Oxford are doing experiments to determine if the disorder is in any way influenced by the colour of the bus. Fascinating research, I am sure you'll agree.

Scientists.

[ClareTG0ld]

Not surprised. You wouldn't catch anyone from Cambridge wasting their time like this :O

[10ClarionSt]

Have you been at the Columbian Marching Powder or something, TTT?

[pastafreak]

Got a link? Please?

[Hymie]

Here is a video for you to submit to the Oxford scientists – which might help explain things.

The poorest 20% in the UK are poorer than the poorest 20% in Poland.

[bobbinwales]

Hymie doyou check the validity and detail of these twitter claims....the Poland one.

[jno]

it seems to be true, bobb, though definitions of poverty will doubtless be flexible

Poor my April, no one in this country is poor unless you mean if they haven't got the latest Iphone and a 60 inch plasma = Poor.

[maggiebee]

TTT think you need to change your glaikit looking avatar!

[ToraToraTora]

why would I change my avatar?

[bobbinwales]

Thanks jno but poverty always measured as comparison to the average for that country.
Uk income on average
(median) is more than double polands.....much more telavant

[ToraToraTora]

ok maggie if you insist I'll change my Avatar.

//The poorest 20% in the UK are poorer than the poorest 20% in Poland.//

They are the Poles, so it's better for them in the UK than staying in Poland.

[pastafreak]

I wonder...are pensioners who get the old rate...about £700 pm...not poor in your estimation?

[douglas9401]

Not another diversion o the bus route.

Passengers are advised not to look to the right lest they be traumatised by the car crash currently going on in Westminster.

[ToraToraTora]

pasta, the poorest person in the UK is better off that 75% of the world. Most of us are better off that 90% of the world. "poor" is subjective.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah foo
fascinating research on 'Black is white' disease
or dyslexia of the severe sort: " I can't read, never"

But seriously folks, mistaking a green light for a red light ( oops!) is called a "polar error" and often leads to catastrophic expensive consequences

I wonder if thre were any disastrous consequences ( such as 'wrong PM' or 'stupid home secretary' ) in the polar error over the red bus. I think TTT should tell us

[Tilly2]

I thought the bus was blue.

[Peter Pedant]

blue red
if you are colour blind or have RDIB
( or er an Aber) what difference does it make ?
