People just don't know what they are talking about do they.
How rude!

It was a statement of fact not an insult. Believing everyone in London is rude is simply ill informed preconceived nonsense. Everyone anywhere cant be anything. Then to spout such accusations can only lead to some Londoners being offended, hence the rudeness.

I am not offended by anything that is not a true observation as you would see if you could see the smile on my face, I enjoy it.

Swindon and it's marvellous residents are a joy to behold, followed very closely by their neighbours in Gloucester   ;) ;D

Today I had my hair cut and the young girl who washed it first had an obsession with the word 'obviously'. There were very many things I was clearly supposed to know whilst making small talk...  "Well, obviously I work Tuesdays to Saturdays.",  "Obviously my granddad lives in Spain so I can go and visit him.", "Obviously Monday is usually my day off but this week I've got Friday off.".

I'm sure I told this story before but since when has that stopped me...

We live in Scotland, my dad was born here but we are not from Scotland. When we moved here we did struggle with some language differences. People would ask "where do you stay?". I had no idea, I hadn't even told them we were going somewhere. Ah, it means "where do you live?"!

We were astounded, when walking my mum's dog in the park, when some children came and asked if they could "clap the dog". My mum's dog is like a helium filled fox, and we use time lapse photography to check she is actually moving. Certainly not the sort of dog that you would imagine could do anything that would attract applause from strangers.

Ah right, up here it means "can we stroke your dog"....

So. On a Friday afternoon I listen to the Kermode/Mayo programme on BBC Radio 5. I was very pleased when they read out a message complaining about language stickler Kermode beginning sentences with a superfluous "So" and giving him a good ticking off. Quite right.
