I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

Norks I think there are plenty of generic phrases to translate without resorting to phrases used by specific posters.

I have no idea what you could possibly be talking about lougle I think I have described generic types fairly accurately. Maybe I have conflated several ideas into one sentence and it reminds you of someone, but that is a mere coincidence.

What the poster is, is irrelevant, though, isn't it? Still not on to attack a poster personally. But let's not analyse the rights and wrongs and derail this very funny thread Smile

Yes avril and that goes for all the 'always buy organic' ; 'never eat at Greggs'; 'would rather have no meat if it wasn't free range' crowd.

I really do need to go to bed. Am getting grumpy

I stand by my principled objection, Maryz . Although I can't disagree with anything anyone has said either.

'My DD was enjoying an organic fruit juice and a savoury pastry, when...' = 'DD was chowing down a fruit shoot and a Greggs sausage roll, when....'
