Your, The !

Just lighthearted humour Oldmeg ???

Appreciate the flowers Bridgeit

?

I hate it when the newsreader says ‘it’s good night from me’ as I always have to say ‘and it’s goodnight from him’ a la Two Ronnies.

"Own it"!

I don't watch the news anymore as anything important comes up on my phone and I can see what the weather is doing when I look out of the window

I confess to being a dyed in the wool pedant but your news etc doesn't bother me. However 'for me' drives me insane. "could you hop (hop?) on the scales /couch for me? I'm not five!

Perhaps you should actually try 'Hopping on' and see what reaction you get. I think if I hopped on the scales it would break them!

Ha ha! I sometimes get special offers saying 'just for you'. DH says fancy putting on a special offer just for you! How kind of them !

It's ridiculous isn't it? Even on Classic fm they say 'music chosen by you'! Not by me -I've never sent in a request. Why can't they say chosen by listeners?

I agree. I also dislike people writing/saying 'you' instead of 'your' ie: 'you book' or 'here's you meal' but then, decent language is fast disappearing.
People routinely preface a sentence with 'So' and pepper their speech with 'I mean', 'like' and 'um'.
It was never more apparent than when I was watching the European Championships in Glasgow and Belgium. Competitors couldn't open their mouths without resorting to the street language mentioned.

I find your comment rather unkind OldMeg.

I have had more than my share of irritating and upsetting (life threatening) problems this year so I need to be cut a bit of slack.

Bit unnecessarily harsh OldMeg. I have a very full life but playing fast and loose with the English language with Americanisms irritates the hell out of me! Why has it become a fashion now to say “speak to (an issue)” rather than “address (the issue)? And don’t get me started of people who sound the H when pronoucing H

I don't much care either way. There are worse things in the world.

Yes, it bothers me too, I don't want the news. What would I do with them? Anything that could be classed as "my news" I already know and don't usually want to broadcast to all and sundry. The news is a completely different kettle of fish.

All the News programmes, can go in Room 101 complete with blasting big bongo drums heralding in every item. It doesn't seem respectful to those affected to try to make often sad and tragic happenings come across as even more sensational or shocking. I miss the News though.

Why DO people pronounce the ‘h’ in the letter ‘h’?

Your Gatwick Airport. Really?!!!

Why do the weather people talk about "wall to wall sunshine "? What walls are they talking about?
Also, as a hayfever sufferer, I don't need them to tell me that the pollen count is high !

If it is "My News" well I don't want to hear it and who gives them the right to tell everyone about it. It has to stop and just tell us "The Local News.

The expression that annoys me is a person who has to watch "my programmes" or "my soaps".

I love reading your comments, all so variable. Some make me laugh, all very genuine. Amazing how different we all are. Keep it up ladies …. I love it.

Not really bothered one way or the other, BUT we do have a friend who writes daily on Facebook and has the irritating habit of starting each day with " Good morning sunbeams, today the weather is delivering ----" I wonder why she doesnt work in the Met office!

I don't mind most things [language wise] but am becoming tired of being blessed, again today in a clothes shop by an assistant because I coughed.

"Your" news is for your particular region of the country, what on earth can be wrong with that? Nothing better to moan about then?
