And one day in the office we were talking about some place somewhere in the north of England, and one of my colleagues said: “Oh, in this place – in the North of England - they’ve got a huge nuclear plant”. And a colleague of mine... she says: “Oh, what kind of plant is a nuclear plant, I know all plants – you know I’ve got green fingers – and I’m very good with plants, trees etc, I love gardening and I’ve never heard of this kind of plant.”

We explained to her that it’s nothing to do with plants in gardening, it’s about nuclear power. So she laughed as well. And following morning she came to the office and she said: “I bought a new plant, but I made sure that it wasn’t nuclear”.
