"have you got 10p for the phone box"
"get off that internet, I need to use the phone" <<< 1996 when you picked up your house phone and heard the interwebs dialing through

I know and it's one of those sayings that never made any sense to me, how can you look up a word that you don't know how to spell? and I know this is a personal thing but for some reason we only had an American English dictionary when I was kid so it never really helped.

American English? Should be scrapped, my phone keeps replacing S's with Z's and missing out U's.

Agree! It's "Can I get... whatever" instead of "Please can I have..." these days.

If anyone says "can I get..", it better be followed by "a witness" and their name better be Marvin Gaye!

Please, thank you, may I, how can I help, do you need me to do anything, are you okay... and so on.
Up the wooden hill. Definitely.
I recall a song from my childhood, played by guitar by my father most nights..
He would sit at the end of the bed and play his guitar and sing "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly..."
Another phrase;
Oh what a gay day
'You're pulling my leg' seems to have disappeared too..

My Great Gran taught me that. I think it was the first time I began to like surreal stuff.

Jimi Hendrix used it for one of his songs. 'Strange Things', I think.

I remember my dad saying that to my younger sister when we were in the car travelling to Cornwall . ..she would have been five at the time and her response was 'I can't feel it'.
