In the last few years I now completely understand why my grandfather used to tell me.

Common sense isn’t common !!!

This article is an excellent example of just that !!!

As your grandfather wisely said, "Common sense isn’t that common." Well, it’s clear to me that anyone running low—or running on empty—should pull up to the Roberts family station, where common sense flows in abundance. There, the pumps are always ready to deliver the finest non-polluting, high-octane reserves of wisdom.

Thanks for the compliment stated in such an elegant and thoughtful way.

A true gentleman and scholar in the art of wordplay.

Pleasure! Really appreciate the kind words — and I’ve gotta say, they sound like they’re coming from a true gentleman who’s a prodigious force in the art of wordplay themselves.

on the picture at the top the pair of doors with the accessible toilet sign say 'Fire Exit' and opening those doors (to, presumably, go to the toilet) would invariably result in leaving the building, ending up outside. good riddance, no....?

Indeed. I suspect though that the arrows on the doors indicate that the accessible toilets are to the left and right of the doors somewhere.

But the image may have been contrived anyway.
