Oi, the date format is endlessly confusing if you're American and you 
happen to prefer the non-American way, *and* do computers enough to 
think in the iso way.

My most recent rent check, which I wrote last week on the 3rd of 
January, I wrote "04 Jan 03", saw how messed up that was, and scribbled 
a litle "20" in front of the "04".  My landlady came by and thought I'd 
written the year wrong :-)
