Yes NotSpaghetti. Here a common question at the doctor or optician is "what's your name again?" When you haven't told them your name.

As for rooting Magenta a question for Susie Dent methinks.

I'm there for you. Where?
I'm always right behind you. Creepy!
We are are all rooting (or is it routing) for you. How exactly does one root (or is it route)?

I dislike people asking me to "confirm" my name/d.o.b/address.

Logically, I can't confirm anything if you don't give me the info first.

One that irritates me is ‘purchased’ when talking about buying something small. A house purchase is one thing, but ‘I purchased a bag of crisps’ sounds pompous. I don’t know why I find it annoying, but it grates on me.

Or worse still, ledge. You can be a ledge these days if you manage to put your shoes on the right feet without help.

Dislike all of the above but the newest that makes me grit my teeth is, “when time do you want us to rock up?” Especially when said by a seventy plus person. Ugh!!!

“Heartbreaking” Apparently Mary Berry announced the heartbreaking news that she’s deaf.
