Other highlights from a day that can only be described as a "girls' day out":

- "Grown men should not wear festive sweaters. Especially festive sweater vests with matching turtlenecks." {editor's note: think Bridget Jones}

- "There simply aren't enough opportunities to use the word vermin."

- "One should always wave at firemen." {editor's note: for some reason there were firemen everywhere today. Lots of waving opportunities.}

- "It's easier to get it in there if you're loose." {editor's note: a knitting reference}
