Instructions or De-structions!

I ordered some new colours and they arrived today. I was looking through the instruction leaflet enclosed and realised that there were no instructions written in English.
Fortunately, i know how to use the colours.
When i asked my colourist if she could read; Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegain, German or French? she replied" NO!" to all of them.
I said " So these instructions are no good to you then!" < screwed them up into a ball and threw in bin>.
I never seem to understand why they give you instructions as i never seem to make head nor tail of them. Is it just me?

fabulous as ever Nick. However I find Ikea and, for that matter, Durham Pine furniture, very easy to assemble. After 4 hours of huffing and puffing my father left his bedroom having assembled *his* wardrobe. I then went in there as he drunk his tea and managed to assemble *her* wardrobe in about 40 mins.

Flat-pack furniture, I think.

I hate the translated instructions - they read as if they were translated on Babel Fish

If I had four times my years I'm sure I'd know what that meant

I think Nick should do all his future editions in red and green.
