To shout at the TV.......

Lynne, I was not having a go at Nottingham! I live more or less equidistant between Leicester, Nottingham and Derby and like them all.

But, on East Midlands today there was an interview with a young woman about the latest Westminster attack as they were searching a house in Nottingham.

I wouldn't 'diss' Nottingham! And this thread was light hearted.

It's apparently the latest term for the police here in the UK by those who use the Urban Dictionary

It was a joke, Lynne.
In response to kitty’s amusing (as I thought) OP.
The grin emoticon might have been a bit of a clue <sigh>

Nottingham and the Wild West image.... really? I've lived in Nottingham all my life. The city had a spate of shootings in the past (almost all of them involved black men. Not racist, but fact). I've never seen any violence yet.

Petra - Jeremy vine is just awful. Smug, sneery and I hear on good authority, that when he’s a paid after dinner speaker, he enjoys slagging off the people who listen and contribute to his Jeremy Vine Show on bbc radio 2 are foolish, not very bright and ready to be patronised

Jeramy vine is the only person I shout at on tv.
Particularly when one of the eggs answers a question and he says how do you know this stuff
Me: BECAUSE ITS THEIR JOB YOU PILLOCK.

My boss in the canteen where I worked used to say asparagrass for asparagus, but I didn`t dare correct her!

Everyone seems to say tumeric sodapop
(annoying)

A cartoon from 1924. Isn’t the Internet marvellous

Didn’t there once used to be accusations of Feds Under the Beds?

I thought it was Reds under the beds OldMeg but of course I could be quite wrong

No, you are NBU. I would have shouted at the TV too! Did they think they were in Chicago? I'm always telling someone off for misspronouncing something or other, and the turmeric gets to me too. Gregg Wallace and his sidekick ought to know better!

We’re they not then? These Feds get everywhere. Didn’t there once used to be accusations of Feds Under the Beds? ?

I really must wake up! I thought they were undercover Freds as well.

They've been watching too many US crime dramas!

The Feds seems to have replaced the pigs, or other derogatory names for the police. I wonder how many serving officers prefer to be called The Fed ?

I do it all the time kitty my all time shout out is for cookery people who say 'tumeric' instead of 'turmeric' this irritates me beyond measure.

Maybe you misheard them and they were all called Fred?

Are you sure it wasn’t Nottingham, New Hampshire (pop. 4785) they were talking about Kitty?
Or maybe the person felt that ‘Feds’ fitted with Nottingham's rather Wild West image?

Not unreasonable at all Kitty? I would be just the same
