I cannot think and listen at the same time. #4: Get what is asked for and don't substitute and don't makeshift. #5: When I come home I leave work at work. Don't ask me what I did at work. #6: We stay here until departure time. If you try to squeeze a shopping trip in and don't get back in time, you will be left behind. #7: "Get the children's bladders empty just before departure" means what it says, not straight after breakfast to get the job out of the way and afterwards they fill again. #8: Keep the toilet seat and lid down. It keeps flies (= insects) out. #9: It is not 3 days by camel to the front room to get cutlery or to put cutlery away. #10: At jam-making time, your miscellaneous assortment of hangers-on and fellow church members will have to buy their own stuff in shops like anyone else. We are not mediaeval peasants and we will not be last in the queue for our own produce. #11: Yes, I did take your church leaflets to my scuba diving instead of delivering them. #12: Why your kettle is not boiling, is because I switched it off. Making and drinking a cup of tea does not take zero time.
