We follow an old British tradition - we have milk delivered in bottles every morning, and our Milkman's here before the sun rises. I think he was away last week and a standin was doing his rounds - the milk was left on the front step rather than in the rack by the side door, and on several mornings it was still there when our first visitors of the day rolled up.
Who were our visitors?
On one day, bankers. On another day, civil servants. On a third, our own team.
What did they do when they saw the milk still on the step?
On one day, carried it in for us. On another day, pointed it out to us. And on the third it was left - I don't know if that group even noticed.
But can you guess which group took which action?
