It’s ‘champing at the bit’ I tell you.

Not ‘chomping’ you numpties. (Ah that’s better).

Oh crikey. I too have found my people. The one that gets me (often seen around Christmas) is the wetting of appetites. Gahhh

I want to see a picture of the giant canapé outside their front door 🤣

The construction "the baby needs changed" (cf "needs to be changed") is a Scottish thing, and is accepted formal grammar up here. I've lived here 12 years and am adopting it.

Also the use of the word "outwith", which sounds made up to people down south.

I agree with all the others, I think!

I thought decimate meant to leave only 1/10 - thus closer to obliterate? Am off to educate myself.

Scary pedant here. But to confirm as a Scot. Baby needs changed/ changing is accepted construction here. In no way recent.

Hear, hear.

Simon Cowell just pronounced 'hyperbole' as 'hyperbowl' on the X Factor. I think my ears are bleeding.
