Xiled Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Watched and listened to some of the Sheffield derby from Hillsborough. PA announcement was crystal clear despite the stadium being built in the dark ages and a crowd of 33k. Shall I give them a call and see where they bought theirs?

They probably have the last branch of Tandy in the UK. And next week, Gremlins is opening at the picture hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Noticed that @phantom raised the question here. http://m.rugbynetwork.net/boards/read/s100.htm?102,16094847 @Mkelly feedback seems to be much the same, so hopefully you have kept the receipt for the 20k that has been dropped on the PA.

The method is explained earlier in this thread but...............I'll do it again... The first number is a recognisable time period so 12 is a year (12months) therefore 12/18 is 18 months 4/52 is 4weeks 3/7 is 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your recogoisable time period was 18. ??? Now you're quoting 12/18. Did you maybe have your original numbers the wrong way round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if 3/7 is 3 days, why is 24/7 not 24 days? At least I know that 18/12 is a dozen and a half eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I know that 18/12 is a dozen and a half eggs. Because Robbo stated that the first number is your recognisable number. which is in this case......24. Which we recognise as hours, as in 24 hours per day. So, as the second number is 7..... Hours x 7...the answer is 7 hours. There, that's that sorted. So when someone says....24/7, they mean 7 hours....piece of cake really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but... what's the 'recognisable period' about the first number, 3 in the 3/7 formula sir? 3 men in a boat? 3 points for a win? So could the 'recognisable number' actually be the second number? I get the '52' as weeks in a year and '7' as days in a week. If so, then the '18' seems a bit of a wide ball to me. Anyhows, I managed to get 2 out of 3 correct so that's a 1200/400, and a 'pass'.
