Answer

  • A: Be careful! You nearly knocked over that poor cyclist.
  • B: I'm sorry. It's not easy to look at the road and the map at the same time.
  • A: Well, I did offer to map-read, but you wouldn't let me map read.
  • B: Because you always get us lost. Or you did get us lost last time, anyway.
  • A: No, I didn't get us lost! You wouldn't listen to me!
  • B: Never mind. Are there any more sweets? Can I have one a sweet?
  • A: No, you can't have a sweet. You ate the last one sweet an hour ago.
  • B: It's a pity we didn't get some more sweets when we stopped for petrol.
  • A: Just a minute. Did that sign say Crawley ten miles?
  • B: I think so it said Crawley ten miles. Why?
  • A: Because it means we're going in the wrong direction!
