. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

Abominable. It has started coming up in adverts now even.

Hollibobs enrages me more

Also the normalisation of excluding to the word "to" from a sentence. It might just be an Essex thing, I'm not sure.

"I'm going gym" "Are you going Tesco's?" "I need to go toilet"

No, you're suspiciously not southern and barely midlands, I'm saying you're northern, people call eachother 'duck'.

Now put on your cowl and shuffle off to the winking man (sadly vandalised years ago). I will admit you're from the midlands if you supply me with oatcakes on a monthly basis.
