Lunch today with friends we haven’t seen for a while. We received a text from the restaurant this morning, asking whether we would be turning-up. We had to reply 1 for yes and 9 for no. I speculated on what they would think if we replied 2 (probably yes but not certain) 5 (completely undecided) or 8 (probably not) and whether 10 would mean “not today and never again.” Anyway, we did and it was fine.
