This may have been done before but I find this really annoying. Someone advertised a chest of Chester drawers the other day 😂. Anyone else.

Yes it's amusing but some people are doing it tongue in cheek now.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 16/12/2022 17:48

Oh really. This was fb marketplace. Lol

It's been done many times before @teaandtoastwithmarmite , and it's not chester drawers, it's chester draws.

PedantScorner · 18/12/2022 15:26

Someone offered body location on my local freegle.

Saw puppies on gumtree bread from good quality parents.

That book Eats Shoots and Leaves was funny in parts.

There are usually duvans, dinning tables and filling cabinets on offer, and various stationary items.

Chester drawers makes me loose my mind.

Viviennemary · 18/12/2022 17:24

It's annoying. I've seen 'sort after item' at those antique/collectors fairs.

"Dose anyone no". Aaaarghhh!!!!!

Gotten is normal in Hiberno-english too.

I give you a chase long....

PedantScorner · 18/12/2022 17:56

Chase Lounge, surely?

Someone keeps requesting a chaise longue on my local free site, but says one like the photo. The chair in the photo isn't a chaise longue.

@PedantScorner I stand corrected 😂😂

Hen doo/ work doo. It's do.

PedantScorner · 18/12/2022 19:32

Isn't that from accidentally pressing a key twice? I have a habit of typing off, onn, inn, itt etc and the spellchecker doesn't spot them.

GimmeBiscuits · 18/12/2022 23:10

I'm not sure, Pedant, I've seen it written incorrectly several times in the same post on social media.

TokyoSushi · 18/12/2022 23:13

Surely you mean Chester Draws? 😉

Needmorelego · 18/12/2022 23:17

I quite like it. I hope it will be one of those names for an object that has changed over time - as language is always evolving.
I like to think that 50 years in the future people will go to Ikea for furniture and say "ok...we are here to get a bed, Billy bookcase and a Chester" and no one will think it's odd 😂

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 18/12/2022 23:18

To all intensive purposes

PayPennies · 18/12/2022 23:18

Need gone today makes the insides of my mouth itch.

MrsMoastyToasty · 18/12/2022 23:22
