Many years ago I went camping with some friends to Somerset. On arrival, we realised that we hadn't taken any tent pegs. We found a shop that sold all sorts of things and went in. The lady behind the counter was at least eighty years old and quite deaf. We asked if she sold tent pegs. "What do you want they for?" she asked with a broad Somerset accent. Puzzled, we said "to hold up our tent". She disappeared to a room at the back of the shop and came back with a box of Tampax. No wonder she looked a bit puzzled when we said what they were for!
