Marketing speak frequently grates but a Dobbies ad thus morning really made me feel old and ick at a time of increasing worry over upcoming fuel bills when some of us might be staying in bed to keep warm over what promises to be a pretty difficult winter ahead as it seemed so fake:- my emphasis below

“Embrace the seasonal hygge vibe with cosy cushions and throws in autumnal
colourways, infuse your home with seasonal scents…”

M0nica at least Dobbies used the word autumnal.

I passed a shop today with displays in the window referring to autumn as 'Fall'.

🤔

I thought I might get arrested if I went in and ripped up their autumn (Fall) display signs

"We really appreciate your time, your respect and kindness. Thank you for continuing to hold."

From Santander today.
What's the idea of that expression? It doesn't sound like an Americanism, which is the usual.

That would have me reaching for a sick bag. Having said that I do try to let these things slide past me on the basis that being irritated uses up energy which, in my case, is in short supply.
