I put all the change I come home with (except £1/£2) in a tin, I have about £120 already in 5 months.

Pretty much the same mentality here, although I don't like 50p's either!

The mrs got me a fully functional mini cashpoint to keep my change in.

It keeps a running total of how much you've saved

"keep the change" This isn't the 80's

It can only hold so much though right? I have a fallout 3 lunchbox full of change at the moment!

How London centric the BBC is, and how on the main page it assumes your location is London

The way Americans always assume that because I'm British I either a: live in London, or b: know it well anyway, really annoys me.

The BBC homepage doesn't assume everyone lives in London.

When I run my cursor over the weather thing at the top, it's always for London, even if I set it to my current location.

Also the Local News section automatically resets to London on each visit.

It does, see above.
Unless you opt to change it and save your history

I had this exact problem for a while, I kept removing London from 'my locations' and replacing it with my actual location for several days in a row before it finally accepted that, no, I do not live in London

That makes it sound like there was an ambulance.

That's not even to make it fit. "I can see no ambulance" fits just fine, and makes sense.

People who don't pay at the pump given the option. Especially people on the front set of pumps so once you've efficiently paid you can't leave. You know who you are. I see you buy NOTHING from the shop, AND pay by card. You strawberry floating backwards banana split.

People who get on the Tube and just stand in the doorway when there's room in the carriage and other people to get on. strawberry float you sir.

Bend them over and rape them thoroughly.

People who commit partial rape, as opposed to giving people the thorough raping they sometimes deserve.

Reminds me of my grandma telling me that "innit" isn't a word and I had to stop saying it, but then going on to spout crap of her own generation. My Dad told me that when he was in school his teachers were telling him that "okay" wasn't a word and he had to stop saying it. Of course, now, okay is a word in every language and even innit appears to be in the Oxford online dictionary.

Why is it some are okay while others (can't get no sleep, etc) are annoying? If both parties understand an intended meaning then what's the problem. I suspect it's because it identifies someone as belonging to a different social group, maybe a less privileged background? Basically that makes you racist Frank. Ban request

People who say "innit". It doesn't make sense and isn't a word.

Luckily I've never heard anyone speak like that. I can't imagine I'd ever associate with them again if they did

A find it pretty funny and a would starting speaking like that on GR but a might get banned

Innit is a word according to Oxford, Collins, and Scrabble, apparently. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... onary.html

Speaking like that just sounds a bit Northern. I don't know anyone who types like that, people who type in regional dialects need to die.
