Oh and BTW this does sound like the sort of wild goose chase my dad would send me on. And when I finally find Olive, she will be living on a long straight road with no roundabout anywhere near. He will then swear blind he never mentioned a roundabout.
I once had a member of Barstaff who was not terribly bright. He had recently moved house. We had a contract taxi firm who took us home after closing and we happened to be in his taxi. He announced that he had forgotten his address but told us the area and said he would 'know it when he saw it' and number was 'forty something'.There we were, after midnight, crawling slowly along identical streets while he shook his head at each house in the 40s. Very long story, he actually lived in the only tower block in the whole area! :-X. He explained that he was 'looking sideways, instead of upwards'
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
Years ago I went on a client visit. A colleague said "oh you can't miss it. The office is right next door to MFI". When I got to the road there was no furniture store anywhere in sight. Turned out the office was next to MI5!!
“I say, this has really been drama of the highest order.” (A scientist at Jodrell Bank in the UK speaking in typically understated British fashion as they tracked Apollo 11′s descent to the Moon).
Not only has Olive been found, Himself had tea & Welsh cakes with her!

Bloody hell!! Himself warranted a Welsh cake. I hope Olive is planning to go to said funeral after all that.
