I had a typically South African situation this week. I was supposed to meet a truck as it arrived at my house. The truck didn't turn up. I obtained the truck driver's number and gave him a call: "Where are you?" At the house, he said. I said: "Where?" He described his surroundings -- and described just what I saw. I said: "I am at the house. There isn't a truck here." Silence. He said: "I am there! Thirty kilometres!" I turned to someone next to me, and joked that he was 100 km away (which he might well have been, judging by the time it took him to reach me).
