View attachment 576294

PEDANT MODE

that is really a repair anvil, more of a DIY tool.

A true cobblers last for making shoes is one of these foot shaped tools, set the oterh way up on a bench stand

(My day was a true cobbler from about 1930 - 1970)

A Welsh farmer was out tending his flock when he saw a man drinking with a cupped hand from a mountain stream.
He shouted over in Welsh “Don't drink the water! There's sheep poo in it!”

The man at the stream lifted his head and carried on drinking.
Realising the man couldn't hear him, the farmer moved closer and shouted the same thing in Welsh again.

But still the man couldn't hear him.

Finally the farmer walked right up to him and repeated his warning.
To which the man replied: “Dreadfully sorry, my good man, I can't understand a word you say. Can you speak English, old chap?”

“Oh I see,” said the farmer. “I was just saying, if you use both hands you can drink more.”

We use the same technique with southerners, or Lancastrians

Is it could have or could of? Occasionally, writers will mistakenly use could of when they really mean could have.

  • Could have is a modal verb phrase.
  • Could of is a error.
There aren’t any instances where you should find yourself using could of.


Lads, lads. It was my little joke.

First time the crap joke was posted the image contained the words 'could of ironed it' and one of our comrades corrected it.

Second time the crap joke was posted the image contained the words 'could've ironed it' and I 'corrected' it.

I'll get my coat. (Its on it's hook over there.)
