You can never rely on people who give wars a name related to lengths of time to get it right...

E.g. "The Hundred Years War" lasted 116 years
"The Thirty Years War" lasted 29.5 years...

Anyone know it?
That was a phone-in competition on radio - the answer to 3 questions gave you the 3 syllables of the word 'potatoes'. Very simple questions that this thick as pig-sh!t woman didn't understand. Even the host lost the plot and ended up in a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
 
That's it!

Pot?

OK so we have Pot Eight. Now - what's on the end of your feet? Me slippers!
What's inside them? Me toes.
Great! So what is it? Pot Eight Toes.....
Potty toes!
Say it fast...
Pottytoes! Pottytoes! Never heard of them!
Will someone pop round to number 8 and tell this woman!!
