Huh? But tidbit is the correct, long-standing term and titibit is the common error similar to a damp squid.

Want to be sure what you are taking offence at here? 😕

I have clear enunciation and separation of sounds. I an not a slurrer (except when it doesn't matter). The phonetic alphabet is aimed at communication over possibly dodgy radio connections not for face to face interactions.

A common misnomer when used by the general public asking on the socials if anyone else locally is having an issue with their Sky/Gigawotsit wi-fi. You would expect a tech organisation to know better.

But that takes longer to say with more mouth movements which is not what is wanted when wanting to save time.

Zee Cars for example. Actually also when speaking of car reg numbers such a JZG.

I confess to saying Zee rather than Zed when used as an adjective as it definitely rolls off the tongue more easily and quickly.

Eventually retired the cat's whisker? :D

Even if push came to shove and I found I needed to buy a Freely TV or device it would need to be connectable to the internet with an ethernet cable. Wi-fi or powerline do not give the rock solid connection needed for heavy duty, high quality video streaming. Currently all my streaming needs...

And its back! :)

Don't know how many other ex-Toppyites there are on here that like to still keep tabs but wondering what the state of play is? Would be understandable if owner Nigel had had enough of the server instability from his provider and decided to call it a day.

I am quite happy with apostrophes not being used if it does not result in an unfortunate ambiguity of meaning.

Unless they have been clamped and need to lifted onto the pound truck (or lorry if you prefer).

The simple distinction is that Great Britain designate a geographical area and that United Kingdom designates a political area. Explain to the Yanks that is the same distinction as between North America and the USA.

As long as it did not make crosswords more convoluted. :)
