Feet and inches

Two people had the mystery cake - both women. Neither could identify the courgette. Both said they'd loved it but there's no way they'd have chosen it if they'd known about the veg content. They wanted the recipe.
A month ago a man asked if he could bring a walking party to us at about 4pm today. He'd call ahead when they'd gathered in the morning and let us know how many there'd be. Usually, he said, it was about a dozen. He rang this morning a little breathless. "Forty have shown up" he said, "I've asked for a show of hands on how many will want to come for tea afterwards and THERE'S TOO MANY TO COUNT. Is that ok?" Yes I said, but could they try to stagger their arrival. I was reassured that would be no problem as they'd all parked in different places and some would go to see the church first.
They ALL came at 4.30.
They ALL had cake.
