QUESTION: - What is the best form of communication?

One must always ensure that the method of of communication enables the true meaning of the message to be understood.

An example of this was when I was recently told by somebody that "My cat is going to be in Horsham next week...".

Whilst this appeared a little strange, I assumed that it was being taken to the vets. However, it was clear from the following remarks, that this was no ordinary cat, when the person added that it would be "...signing copies of his autobiography!"

In this instance "My cat" turned out to be "Mike Catt", the England rugby international and World Cup winner, thereby demonstrating that sometimes the written word can be easier to understand than the spoken.

A similar situation arose many years ago when a radio presenter announced that "Next week my gas bill will be here", which resulted in a number of calls to the radio station complaining of "unnecessary drivel", necessitating the radio station to explain that the presenter had in fact said that Mike (not unsurprisingly now referred to as Michael) Aspell, would be there the following week.
