I loathe mm's.
0.6 is bigger than 0.4 Mups

but it doesn't help that A4 paper is smaller than A3.

You're pretty smart right? Clever, and funny too. Of course you are, just like me. But wouldn't it be terrible if we were mistaken? Psychologists have shown that we are more likely to be blind to our own failings than perhaps we realise. This could explain why some incompetent people are so annoying, and also inject a healthy dose of humility into our own sense of self-regard.

This below made me realise, l'm not so clever as l thought!....

This morning l decided to make some ice cream with a recipe l had never used before. The ingredients were measured by cup.
Most of the ingredients were straight forward cup/cups.
I read the measurement for the milk as one 1&1/2 cups but l thought the mixture when heated looked thin.
I re-read the recipe and l had wrongly read the milk measurement which should have been 1&2/3 cups
Well, l stood there, trying to work out if two thirds was more than half, or less!
My brain became addled and thicko me had to look it up!
I'm sure all you intelligent people would've known which is more, straight away...wouldn't you?
I wouldn't have been making it in the first place & if I was I'd want to know what size cup before I started anyway, they vary. I wouldn't have got that if you are using the same cup for all the ingredients the size doesn't matter. So I am thick too.

The cup l used today holds 200ml and is less than half a pint.....Well, that's according to my Pyrex jug!
