I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it.

That's the quote of the year. Extreme stupidity and self righteousness in the same sentence.
I'm actually suprised she can use a phone. Or speak.

But the concept of comparing negative numbers proved too difficult for some Camelot received dozens of complaints on the first day from players who could not understand how, for example, -5 is higher than -6.
Tina Farrell, from Levenshulme, called Camelot after failing to win with several cards. The 23-year-old, who said she had left school without a maths GCSE, said: "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.
"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."
So which player has the higher potential ability: -6 or -8?
