as opposed to a horrible one. Or - are you going anywhere nice for your holidays?' As if you'd go anywhere not nice.

Wincing when someone asks if they can 'get' a cup of coffee.

Not only that but a sandwich or some such other

And feeling the need to correct spelling mistakes - despite it being totally unecessary.

 

Its QUEUEING by-the-way

From the Oxford Dictionary:-

Spelling help

Queuing is usually spelled without an e before the i, although queueing is also correct.

 

If you had paid attention in the grammar class you would know that in most cases 'E' and 'I' perform the same function and so are rarely seen together in a word.

 

Also it is 'IT'S QUEUEING etc...'

Not sure about Gregg-ses but we were in Couplands buying a couple of curd tarts today. It wouldn't matter whether we said,  "may I?" Or even the dreadful, "can I get?" Before we could say anything the chick behind the counter started telling the youngest grandson, in an animated fashion, and with much ho-ho-ing, about how satan and a couple of his elves had been in earlier to buy pasties. The poor lad was left a nervous wreck.

*walks away all smug and uppety*

I didn't say 'May I have?' I said 'May I have....?' The dots representing whatever it is you are asking for.

So why didn't you say a similar thing to sprout?

SPROUT you're a tit.

Fluffy told me to say it . . . ?

To me those things are English, not British. In Scotland a crumpet is more like a crÃĻpe. Although we can buy an English Crumpet, we don't have an equivalent. We do have Pancakes, but I believe a Scottish pancake is different to an English pancake. Not sure about that, but otherwise, why are they labelled SCOTTISH pancakes?
