Send three and fourpence.....

I just enjoyed a substancial lunch at a local Japanese Restaurant. At the bar afterwards I was chatting to the waitress and asked her the meaning of Japanese symbol/character. After three confrimations I was confident that she had said "wheat grain", despite having intially thought she'd said "wheat germ". Gemma joined in the conversation at this point and quickly established that the girl was saying "weekend". I have had some odd conversations with that very nice girl in the past.
