Why does my bank only open when I'm in work?

You work in a bank?

AND there used to be a letter of the alphabet on the inside of that plastic cap - and now we wonder why literacy standards have fallen.

YES ! How could I have missed that. You are SO right.

Shakespear, Milton, Dickens, Chaucer et al must be spinning in their graves like .....................................I don't know, but something that spins VERY fast.

Why did they ruin Kit-Kat by doing away with the foil wrappers? I used to like to trace the writing and shapes through the foil.

Drug use. A foil wrap could be used to heat up the heroin to either 'chase the dragon' or to draw up the heated brown to inject. Cadbury's did most definitely not want their products to be associated in any way with this practice.

 

[Andy_R]

Of course they do...Cadbury's et al have recognised the effect of drugs and are providing a source of foil and a way to solve the munchies by making druggies buy multipacks. Oh BTW it's Nestle's Kitkat. (pedantic hat on)

People who say Ness-lay.

It's Nestles ........as in................. my old man nestles comfortably in my undercrackers on a bed of luxuriant pubic hair.

I mean, do we in this country say ........Par-ee rather than Par-iss?

NO!................ So it's Nestles.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Um, yes, thanks for that wonderful image Colly. I say Nesslay, but then again, so does everyone else so I have never really thought about it.

One however that bemuses me, and is possibly only a west central Scotland thing, is when people say definitely as

'Defin - netly'.

They might do these days, but they didn't when we woz lads! Here's the proof ...

One however that bemuses me, and is possibly only a west central Scotland thing, is when people say definitely as

'Defin - netly'.

Whereas in England, half the population these days pronounce (and spell) it as 'definately'!

Text speak infuriates me immensely.
If you can't be arsed to type English, then I can't be arsed to decipher it.
