He likes to guess the size of objects and carries a tape measure round to check whether he's correct. He knows that, it was in the spoilers tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry a tape measure with me to see if I'm right. Sort of related, but I noticed recently that my gf has no concept of distance. We were in the car and had the sat nav on. It said "Turn left in 10 yards" so i turned left and she said "No, it said in 10 yards, it's not this one!" So I asked her if she knew how long 10 yards was and she admitted she didn't. Whenever I talk about distance I have to compare it to something else (eg It's twice as far as here to London) or in time (it takes 2 hours by car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is painful because I'm so good at it (left brained). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 25, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2016 "How far is Croatia away from Turkey?" (our holiday destination from the place getting bombed all the time) "Dunno, at least 1000 miles I reckon" "How far is that?" "Really far" "Further than here to France" "... ... ... ... ...
