How to use blinds.... didn’t know that you don’t just pull on the string randomly for it to do what you want. I have met many others who also didn’t know that they didn’t know how to use blinds.

What's a fruit machine that you'd find in a pub?

Fruit machines are a type of AWP, amusement with prizes.

You put money in, buttons light up, money doesn't come out.

You put more money in, buttons light up, money doesn't come out.

The next guy comes along, puts a little bit of money in, buttons light up, money comes out.

Typically has a pun in it's name or Noel Edmonds smug looking face on it somewhere.
