Have you looked behind your neighbour's dustbin?

 

 

Nah-  Like I said,  the reference number had another address allocated to it which turned out to be my old address!  To be fair to the insurers,  when they realised their error, they chased up DPD themselves and rearranged everything.

Anyone ever mentioned how American pronunciations are creeping into our vocabulary? Like the letter Z (zed) not zee, trainers, not sneakers and I am sure we used to call those big 4x4 cars, 4x4, not SUV. Oh and it’s not British English either, it’s english, end of!

The only one you’ve mentioned that I’ve noticed is SUV and I’m pretty sure it’s only since the sports 4x4 have come about and they are categorised differently. People still call the big 4x4s, 4x4s don’t they?

Have I faux pas-ed?

Carl was taking the piss out of you for saying 'straight the way' instead of 'straight away'. 

 

You can't help being Leicester born and bred though :D
