Who still reclines grammatically?

[MangosteenSoda]

Since joining Mumsnet I've noticed that there are a lot of threads and posts about reclining.

Nearly 100% of people lay down, have a lay-in and talk about when they were laying down.

Is this a thing now? Has language changed in the 13 years I've been out of the UK? When I'm back home, will people look at me like I've emerged from a time capsule if I mention wanting a lie-in? What's going on?

"Lay me down" is ok though, because you've added in the "me" to make it reflexive (although still not very good grammar in modern parlance, but ok for when it was probably created)

Lay down Sally has no excuse though!
