Chester drawers

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

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

[AutumnCrow]

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

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

Oh really. This was fb marketplace. Lol

[PedantScorner]

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

[PedantScorner]

Someone offered body location on my local freegle.

Saw puppies on gumtree bread from good quality parents.

[BCBird]

That book Eats Shoots and Leaves was funny in parts.

[PedantScorner]

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

Chester drawers makes me loose my mind.

[Viviennemary]

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

[Comeback25]

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

Gotten is normal in Hiberno-english too.

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.

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

@PedantScorner I stand corrected 😂😂

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

Needs gone today

[GimmeBiscuits]

Hen doo/ work doo. It's do.

[PedantScorner]

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]

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

[TokyoSushi]

Surely you mean Chester Draws? 😉

[Needmorelego]

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]

To all intensive purposes

[PayPennies]

Need gone today makes the insides of my mouth itch.

[MrsMoastyToasty]
