You'd think they'd know that past tense is brang, wouldn't you?

Nonnie Thu 17-Jan-19 17:12:07

Sadly I'm not surprised sad

I expect highly paid news people and those being interviewed as experts to enunciate properly and know when something is singular or plural but they don't. No problem with accents, enjoy those.

Me too, and I've seen some corkers lately whilst job searching.

Charleygirl5 Thu 17-Jan-19 16:00:49
