are people really getting this thick

I've only just started noticing "are" ... it doesn't quite do my head in as much as "he's" ... "The warden came and took he's dog away". They even think they have to put the apostrophe in! I think they think it shows how clever they are, that they know grammar Rolling Eyes

.

The worst thing is ... they all accept it amongst one another's conversations. When I butt in and go "*our" or "*his", they don't appreciate it.

For my part, I only joined the "I was born in Fulham" one, as my daughter really was born and brought up there (me living there was only incidental but Anita grew up in the mean streets of SW6, so its her "manor") - even though she now lives abroad, so it's useful in that respect, old pix of the area, etc.

They do that infuriating "saying good morning and/or good night thing". First on the page every day gets to put up a sparkly good morning picture, complete with kittens or flowers. Puke

In the evening its like the frickin Waltons "Good night John Boy". Puke

I've not yet bothered to find one for my local area, as I've been here for 8 years now and still only occasionally speak to my neighbours, and even then only for 5 minutes at a time if I can help it. (but now, of course, I am feeling a compulsion to go and search for one, FFS, LOL)

Take the time to watch the film or movie if you prefer "Idiocracy" and see where we are going.

You've been duped by an antique. There's a reason why dictionaries are frequently updated, and even if the gibbering old crocks haven't caught up there's still what's called 'common useage'. To be amazed is not to be very surprised, it's to be "Cor, lumme, check THAT shit out!" As opposed to "fuck me, didn't see THAT shit coming!"

I've recently put some ads in the local Scumtree to flog off bits and bobs and the amount of enquires I had on matters I had taken time to describe clearly in the ad show how fucking thick many folk are

Is "English motherfucker! do you speak it?" still an acceptable response to these people or is it now raciss abyuice and frowned on?

The absolute worst is when someone is thrown to the floor.

When there is a fabrication over the ground it can be called a 'floor'.

If there is no fabricated surface then it would be the ground, the road, the pavement etc.

A constructed floor made from mud, dung mixed with straw/grass/reeds would be a floor as it is a fabrication of sorts.

My new neighbours (terrace house.... 😯) set fire to their house last week, then dealt with it by opening the window and not calling fire brigade, three teenage girls running hither and tither yelling at each other

Well this thread is a relief. I thought I was just living in Bedrock.
I follow a group on Facebook called "Morley Folk and Surrounding Areas" mostly because it's like a local Jeremy Kyle. Lots of arguments about Trish being a slag and about how dare people slag off our Trish and such.
Mostly people complaining about how others drive because don't you know that they had their 22 month old child in the car.
Oh, there's a bit from Cowboy Builders too, somebody recently paid a known dodgy joiner up front to have a decking put up in their garden and then posted in outrage when he bodged the job and did a runner halfway through.
