I had it pointed out to me yesterday by a colleague in London that I have started to use hours instead of miles/km when describing distances. I've probably been doing it for a while.

I actually think that using hours makes more sense. You can factor-in speed limits, time of day, construction, weather and bodily functions.

If I'm typing it, I usually refer to it as soccer football. I wish there was a way of verbalising it.

There is... watch my lips.... "Foot Ball".

Soccer, football, hockey, whatever. They're all just an annoyance when they preempt my TV shows.

i've always used time to describe distances, I think it's more common in Scotland than anywhere else in the UK to do that

the one i noticed on that BBC article was:

Do the washing up - apparently British for "wash the dishes", again I've always said the latter in this case

Perhaps its the "everywhere outside of Britain" mentality that British means English and Scottish/Irish are completely different!

I don't like saying 'mall' as in 'maul', but if I say it as in 'Pall Mall' everyone looks blank. I am happy with Pants! I am happy with trash.

I have had two good friends who were Fannies, and my son's friend was a Willie!

The funny thing is that 'trousers' sounds a bit silly to me now.

To those that missed The Fall on BBC iPlayer, it starts a run on Bravo tonight.

Is it quite good?

BristolUK

It is VERY good.

It got a mention in a few threads in various places.

Top quality Brit TV.

I enjoyed it but it's an opinion and we know they're like arseholes, everyone has one.
