Dear Katsudon,

Thank you. I have learned something new. Then I must say:-

«There were two shop assitants in the shop, both of which said "good morning".»

Kind regards,
Goldmund

I don't think that's what K. meant. In the first case we are talking about a son and a daughter -- generic use. In the 'two shop assistants' case we are talking about those specific people, both of whom said "Good morning". K. will clarify further if necessary.
