Is it a regional thing?

Because if it is then fair enough and I'll stop thinking 'twat' when someone writes it.

Or 'You's' for that matter.

Come here you's two.

Just why?

That's a Scottish use of words, Well.

Ha, That's nothing I've just developed a tendency to say " Anyhoo " ..love it caught it off the kids, who caught it off some American crap they watch.

'Laters' drives me bonkers!

Because they watched too many episodes of FRIENDS!

Ah, right. Where Im from, only twats say it.

In that case, when I read it on here I'll presume their scottish instead.

Unless they say "Anyways Im from Hampshire" in which case their still a twat.

Thanks. Grin

Putting 'so' on the end of a sentence annoys me. Think it is an Irish thing.

WellSlapMyThighAndCallMeNancy · 16/03/2013 11:55

But what I mean is, saying anyways with an S on the end. Not 'anyway....' Like they do in friends.
For example;

Anyways, Im not going out tonight.

Regional.

'youse' is really Essex/East End - you never hear it south of the river.
