"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

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

"Things People Don't Say Anymore"
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.

My god that takes me back...

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'.
