It’s a classic

[lilyboleyn]

It makes my teeth stand on end just to look at.

I looked at an update on a missing persons case earlier. He had been "sited" on a particular street.

I think there quiet nice draws actually, I like them alot. He should of changed less fore them though

I'm after a dinning table, a filling cabinate and a duvan.

@PiggyPokkyFool

Love me a bit of Whinie the Poo

And all these years I thought it was Eeyore who was the grumpy one!

(And to my shame it has just struck me like a thunderbolt why he is called Eeyore)

Never been use.

Dreadful, the best is the sort after street

Id like a nice chez lounge, like what I saw 4 sale once.
There very sort after u no.

Well spotted, OP!

This the first one I’ve seen in the wild.

A cite four saw eyes.

What about a douvet

I saw one of these the other day. Ages since I've seen one. Our local selling page is very strict on timewasters, which seems to have weeded out most of the people who can't write.

A favourite was someone looking for a washer mashen

Oh yes dinning table! Love that one.

BTW the reason it’s a chest of drawers, is that back in the very very olden days, there were only chests. Until some bright spark thought of putting some drawers in, maybe just 2 at the bottom at first.

So the first chests of drawers appeared.

My biggest pet peeve which appears to be everywhere is 'is this aloud' 'are we aloud' no it's fecking allowed a completely different fecking word grrrrr.

@PencilSkirt well, yes...

@BeijingBikini

Oh god, I saw an estate agent write up a really expensive house as being in a "sort after" street. If I was selling my house for that much I definitely wouldn't want a listing littered with spelling mistakes...

We recently put our house on the market and the draft brochure from the estate agent was riddled with errors of all kinds. I had to got through and edit it before returning it, and I was the one who felt embarrassed

Actually @Loveinatimeofcovid, I saw BRAN new in a classic novel once. It was a Jane Austen or possible a Thackery (maybe Vanity Fair?). Shook me, a bit. Got me to wondering if that was actually the original phrase, perhaps from when goods were packed in bran for delivery?

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. Bloody sticks in my craw when I see it now

My husband could use that to store his Prince of Whales check jacket.

ne pedal stools for handwashbasin goin cheep? can ony pay £5 coz disabeld wiv 5 banes. no car needs delivered.

I'm after...a duvan.

I hope you've got a duvay to go with it.

Mind you I had been saying “on tender hooks” for years

Are they selling a dinning table as well?

Person is probably selling to get some money so they can have a bit of rest bite.
Give them a brake.....

Has anyone brought it yet?

I hate how people mix up brought and bought.

Allflight A quick search tells me that historic writers may have used "Bran new" to represent dialectal speech.

Brand new is the original/historic phrase. It has been suggested that "bran new' could have represented something packaged in bran, but this was only a suggestion and not a fact, nor backed up by evidence. "Bran new" is widely recognised as a mispronunciation of "Brand new".
