In the last week had a woman say "they were dregging the river"...just had another say "I am at the end of my feather"! Some time ago Dave Gorman devoted an hour long episode of his Modern Life is Goodish show to the phenomenon of people using the wrong words in everyday sayings, some of them were just weird and comical but over time they become the norm so that old duffers like me and thee are then the odd ones for using the correct saying. From memory there was :- A bowl in a china shop. Escape goat. Damp squid. Right from the gecko. I always used to say trail of thought. |

And you're spot-on about we wrinklies being made to question whether we are actually wrong with what we've always said (ie the correct versions) The English language is not simply evolving, it's going up in smoke!  |

Loved the episode when he got on about all the different ways words ending "ough" were pronounced culminating in his explanation to an American tourist that Loughborough Uni was pronounced Low-brow |

Hope he starts by taking that Working. Class. Club. utter bullshit slogan off everything it is starting to pollute.  does it even mean. Its shit and means fk all, a bit like most slogans really, get rid. wouldn't have minded it if it was backed up by any policies at all to address the creeping gentrification of the game. with so many being priced out, that kind of slogan is just a kick in the teeth. Surely the last thing you could accuse our club of, is pricing people out of the game? |

I can’t believe how many people there are on this football forum currently that only make negative comments about the game in general and Town in particular. How does this “gentrification “ comment apply to Town? Absolute crap. |

I remember years ago ex footballer Micky Quinn was reading out an email on Talk Sport and pronounced it " Fox Pass " - not quite as funny as the young girl from Grange Hill on Saturday kids telly ( Swap Shop ?) who read out " Formula 1 Grand Pricks " then she was corrected by the presenter only for her to come back and say " No, it says here Grand Pricks " In the last week had a woman say "they were dregging the river"...just had another say "I am at the end of my feather"! I get fed up of people saying pacific / pacifically instead of specific / specifically |

Isn't this all a bit of a mute point?
