People who are doing it WRONG

[GloGirl]

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Stand up and then fasten the bra. Then use both your index fingers to smooth out your norks if they are threatening to bubble over the tops of the cups.

You are probably in need of a bigger cup

(damn computer)

My husband leaves the teabag in the cup while he drinks it.

He also dips his (buttered) toast in his tea.

He is from Walthamstow.

My mum who always says Siri can I ask you a question before asking the question.

Or worse:

"Please tell me something"

I have to resist saying "something". Just bloody ask me what you want.

When I was a child I would dip digestive biscuits in orange squash.

I feel it important to point out; fish fingers are wrong.

As you were.

No no, fishfingers are awesome! Particularly in a sandwich with ketchup (not mayo, never mayo).

Putting something with breadcrumbs on it between two slices of bread is so wrong.

instant smash made with hot water and salad cream anyone? I know its wrong and I should repent but I actually quite like it.

eatyourveg I read that as instant squash made with salad cream and was

I may now have to hide this thread.

This thread made me, for the first time in 40 years, eat weta is with butter. I had forgotten how delicious it was.

Shuddering at chips with Chinese takeaway.

How do you make mash?

My dh is from a part of Kent where everyone appears to be confused about tenses.

It is not - they was going for a walk. Wrong, wrong, wrong. They were going for a walk! Or he was going for a walk.

I have had to suppress the urge to correct my in-laws for my whole marriage. My dh argues that at least they don't add r's and l's to words (SW). I know a Veronical and an Eval too (girl's names).

Littleham, I live in Kent and this drives me mad with a few of my friends from a certain town. There is a TA at school who always uses was incorrectly, drives DS mad as he is 9 and knows the difference! eg she will reprimand a child by saying 'what was you doing just then? was you hitting x? well, was you?" Argh!

I know the town.

Tbf it's not just Kent , practically the whole of SE is the same

Well the whole of the South East is wrong. Thumps head against wall

A lot of dialects use the past tense in the singular - wrong 'person', not tense! Other dialects use it always in the plural.

I grew up in an "I were" place, and my grandparents from a "You was" place. It never caused any misunderstandings!

You mash 'em with the skins on, ceebie :) Makes 'em taste more potatoe-y.

Littleham- I completely agree

I may have started the second English Civil War over use of tenses.

It must confuse people who are trying to learn English. Poor exchange students.

the whole of the SE is certainly very wrong indeed at the moment, everything is gone to pot thanks to bloomin operation stack. gah!

Oh, have we moved on to dialects now?

It's scone that rhymes with 'cone'. Any bastard who says it's scone that rhymes with 'one', needs to be 'spoken to' .

Speak away it's a scone as in gone.

You are correct MrsGently. And jam MUST go on the scone first, then cream.

Scone rhyming with one would be scun surely?
