My aunt would sometimes confuse Peter Townsend, the RAF officer whom princess Margaret of Britain fell in love with, but whom she couldn't marry because he was an "ordinary man", with Pete Townshend of The Who (she was a lot more familiar with UK royalty than with The Who). Which would make it hard to give a sensible answer to the question "Did Peter Townshend really feel so pissed over the affair that he had to smash his guitar again and again?"

I think those are supposed to be for expectant mothers, and/or mothers with small children, where a few extra inches can help with strollers/bellies, and the spaces are usually closer to deal with mobility issues.  I saw them when I was expecting (and afterwards), but never felt the need to use them.

How come the word "antediluvian" means something that belongs to an extremely distant past, when Queensland was subjected to "Biblical floods" only three months ago?
