Me (pointing to the front of this week's Radio Times): "Is that a sheep?"
Barry: "No. It's a lamb."
Me: "it doesn't look like a sheep"
Barry: "that's because it's a lamb"
Me (pointing again): "is that a woman?"
Barry: "No. It's Kate Humble."
Me: "It looks like a sheep."
Barry: "Yes. Yes it does... i can see how this is confusing stuff for someone like you."
Quite often, usually after I've done something like turned the grill on then put food in the oven and come back in an hour not understanding what happened, or walked directly into a lamppost, Barry will look at me for a long time, sigh, then say "If YOU are in the top 5% of the country, then i have serious concerns about the future of the UK"
