I used to work for a huge US company so they are singing from my hymn sheet.

It seems you are possibly singing from their hymn sheet.Originally posted by DerekW View Post
As a UK resident apparently residing in sunny Hampshire perhaps you should consider replacing your American hymn sheet with a British version.
Relating to one of your posts on another thread, we in the UK don't usually call the season that follows summer the "Fall" we prefer to use the British term, "Autumn" although I do concede both terms are considered acceptable.

Re: A dog is for life, not just for Brexit.
Whilst not wanting to defend Amazon, as I understand their employment practices are abominable, surely the issue of the tax they pay (or don’t) is only them taking advantage of pitfalls in this, and other, countries tax laws. Anyone will find a way around a loophole if they can it’s just that the vast multinational companies do it with huge sums of money.
I use social media a bit but probably overuse my phone and iPad at home. Not glued to it when out and about though, I might select a mapping app to log a walk but that’s it. Regularly see young mothers pushing a pram or walking alongside a crying child while they are seemingly utterly engrossed in their phones. WTF is so important and more important than their child?
In fact, I’d hazard a guess that 80% of people I see when driving to shops or wherever, will be on their phones. Don’t even get me started on the cyclists riding about, not on the expensive cycle path but clogging up the road, headphones in, oblivious to the world around them....Comment

If you type Aluminum into Wikipedia it instantly directs you to Aluminium without asking. Much the same as typing Grauniad.co.uk into a browser - you get The Guardian.

Like asking for Pease Pudding at the Deli counter in Sainsbury's Plymouth store. I thought they were going to call security!

No, they were famous for their misprunts at one time, hence the nickname, but modern technologies seem to have fixed that. However, recently they ran a story about public transport in Manchester, majoring on bus services in the city. Accompanying the article was a picture of the bus station ... in Liverpool.
