This Friday’s phrase was Blonde One talking to a Silver DofE team about their route.
B1: ‘How long do you think that will take you?’
Team: ‘About 10 minutes, it depends on cows.’
Naismith’s Rule
If only Mr Naismith had factored in cows as well as contour lines when he came up with the most excellent navigation rule!
Mr Naismith clearly wasn’t a farmer, was he? Perhaps your DofE group has had more experience of cows. As a dairy farmer, ‘depends on the cows’ is factored into everything. ‘What time shall we meet for a walk?’ ‘Depends on the cows’ ‘Shall we do a Blonde night nav course?’ Depends on the cows’. ‘When shallI put the supper in the oven?’ ”About 10mins, depends on the cows’…. 😉
