One of the classic side effects of dyslexia is a poor sense of time and my other half is quite dyslexic, so much so that he's nicknamed "late" Lavelle!

If he says he will be an hour it is invariably two real hours and even when we are into the last minute of the countdown before a dinghy race start he thinks he has enough time to travel further so we always seem to end up starting late!

Now when he estimates a time we say "Is that real time or Sandy time??" but nothing ever takes less time than an estimate!
