LOL!, yeah same here mate!
You know when you grow up, and you start going to different places, and you realise that they use different words for things than those you've grown up with? Well I've never found anywhere else apart from Sheffield where they say 'Beer-off', it seems to be very restricted, and probably a very old fashioned word. They may not even say it there anymore. as I mentioned in an early post, I am just enjoying reading a book about the history of New York, and one of the things I find interesting about historic American literature is that you often come across English words, still in use here, but no longer in use in the US. One word which came up here a few weeks back was 'settee' (a couch or sofa), which no longer appears to exist in modern-day America, but which crops up in this book
Incompetence is indeed everywhere!
Nice pic my friend
Thanks a lot Dwight, certainly a trying week
I had to go back to the shop to get a refund on the bookcase, and they then told me I would have to go to their main branch!
I didn't even get an apology
I have a few aches today, but my back seems OK thankfully
