You should try pronouncing it as though it was latté not late - that might help.

Quick look for Italian pronounciation suggests the first, with a softer "ay".

Au, but they don't sell them as 'Fun size', They also don't call them 'Rip-off size' either.

This sounds like something from Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish on Dave. I'm sure it has been a topic (ha-ha) on his show. If it hasn't been, it should be.Why are fun sized chocolate bars smaller than regular bars? Surely more fun if they were larger?
There are very small Toblerones, although I can't remember what they call them.

Breakfast: a rep from the Brownies is talking about a proposal to revise the badges. Presumably they already have a sewing badge awarded for sewing on badges, but they need a not-so badge awarded for managing not to start a sentence with "so".

Well, I thought every sentence was supposed to, like, start with, like, "well" these days. So, like, looks like I messed up again.

"Sat" has become a past participle of the verb to sit.

Ye gods, that's the present participle!! 
At least when using 'sat' as past participle (was sat), there is just the slightest excuse in that sat is past tense. Following the same pattern the cafe signs should say "you are sit @".

So what is it, sitted?
Or to use my theory "You are sitted @".
Or possibly better still would be "You are sitting @". Or is that too correct?
What's wrong with "After dinner he sat down in a lounge chair"?

I think you are confusing a participle with a tense.
Present participle: you are sitting
Past participle: you were sitting
Present tense: you sit
Past tense: you sat
Present participle: you are sitting
Past participle: you were sitting
Present tense: you sit
Past tense: you sat
