They are Norfolkisms. If you go back to Saxon times borrow and lend were interchangeable words, as were learn and teach. As in 'can you learn me to ride a bike'.
Not a big fan of Fill-um, it used to really annoy me but, as I've grown older, it now only mildly irritates me.

Again, they were ones I suffered from badly in Nottingham. Strangely I've never had anyone here say that in the time we've been here (Norfolk)

I hate the word "irked/irks" (presume that's how you spell it). It really irks me when people use it. Dunno why, it just grates on me.

Solutions.

It's presence in any company name or tagline indicates pretentiousness off the scale. I mean, what's wrong with 'Empire Double Glazing' that it has to become 'Empire Fenestral Solutions'? Just fark right off.

Someone once cold-called my Mum and announced themselves to be from So-and-so Fenestration Services. When she said "No thank you I don't need any windows", the girl said "How did you know it was windows we sell?".

"Because I did Latin at school. Goodbye!"

In that case, we suspect it was a tactic to prevent people putting the phone down the minute they heard "double glazing"...

How about these ?

"Grafting = shoplifting.

"Wages" = Dole/Benefits.

"Script" = Methadone

"Boss" = Cop/Prison Officer (but only when trying to escape detection/punishment).

Brings out the cereal killer in me.

"Safe".

[QUOTE 3404484, member: 45"]It's always been Christmas dinner, until the Gordon Ramsay luvvies took over.

It's not time-dictated, but meal-dictated.[/QUOTE]

Nonsense. If it is eaten at lunchtime, it is lunch, even if it is school dinners. It becomes Christmas Dinner if eaten in the evening at dinner time.

Size of meal dictates wherever it is Dinner or......what the hell is lunch? I thought it was something you put in a box? I have never heard of any meal called lunch.
Breakfast dinner and tea, lunch must be some middle class politically correct pretentious pr**k meal
Scoff is perfectly acceptable for any meal. Not entirely happy with nose bag though.

pretentios social climber who learned to ride horses so that she 'could get in with the set' whatever that means. She couldn't ride for toffee!

My neighbor has 2 horses. When I see her out riding she is wearing rags. Everything she is wearing has got a tear in it. Her horses are immaculately turned out, some people who ride horses just don't know how to keep up appearances!
