we had another brother who seemed to be numerically dyslexic is there is such an affliction , he was an MS and for some strange reason was often given the role to give the announcements in the SM, first the KH accounts , if there was say £500 in the bank he's say there was £5000, the 144.000 was often called the 14,000, and if he had to reel off figures on the world wide report of a country having 6000 pubs he's say they had 60,000 pubs I think the UK had 400.000 pubs at one stage, I think the BoE's used to give him the announcements on purpose
