Assume v. Presume

If you're talking that part of London, it's sarf not south.

London accents are hilarious!

London accents are hilarious!

Especially Dick Van Dyke's.

Especially Dick Van Dyke's.

No, the real ones are even funnier. The queen, Eastenders, Eton, hilarious!

To all TV News presenters. His name is Jeremy Hunt. http://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...y-Hunt-Claudia-Liza-Armah-Beth-Rigby-Sky-News
They can't even use the Spoonerism excuse as he is no longer the Culture secretary. Spooner would turn Jeremy Hunt the health secretary into ... erm ... Jeremy Hunt the health secretary. I know JH is a pillock, but dropping the C-bomb on TV in the afternoon - tut, tut!

Does that explain the Tesco BBQs that would not light?

Worth a try, I suppose.

What were you looking for to come across that?

I think that is one of those questions we all wonder about but almost certainly don't actually want to hear the answer to.

 

[Trev]

But what's all this got to do the semantics of the English language?
More like marginally interesting items, I would have thought.

If you are referring to porous charcoal, the only relevance to this thread might be the use/spelling of certain words in the ingredients list.
As I said earlier...

I'm going to use the spelling sulphur [not sulfur]. I will call water - water (not aqua), perfume (not parfum).

 

[Trev]

I do note that it does actually contain charcoal, right down the bottom of the ingredients list.
But I suppose it would turn your skin black if it contained too much.

Camouflage.

 

[MikeSh]

Camouflage.

Only if you're a whitey

 

[Black Hole]

I was thinking of camouflaging the blackheads (or stubble)!

I was offered it to review.

 

[Black Hole]

Have you? Will you? Pictures??

 

[EEPhil]

I was offered it to review.

That then begs the question of what on earth have you bought previously that made them think you wanted to review it?

I was offered a little red dress recently. Amazon isn't the best at predicting what buyers will like, as we keep telling them.
