Pah there’s no plastic in the world that can retain a biscuit from me. They're not to stop you getting to them but to stop them sliding about. The biscuit chastity belt is to stop you getting to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 That would be cable ties to the English amongst us I'm English and proud of it and I , along with everyone else who has made a useful contribution to this thread , will call them whatever I choose to call them thank you very much.It is your absolute right to say what you want, we seem to be adopting more and more Americanisms, there have been references recently to "parking lots" instead of car parks. What next? Celebrate 4th of July and Thanksgiving? I also am English and proud of it and I try to use "English" terminology and not Americanisms.

Muttly Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Any time you are trying to make yourself look or feel good at the expense of someone else you look a wally.this includes correcting people or otherwise belittleing. I think anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raesewell Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My point was that we are slowly losing our identity to the Americans and we don't need to adopt their sayings we have a perfectly good language of our own. It wasn't a correction, it was an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a correction, it was an observation. The posters could be American for all you know! We aren't limited to just people from the UK Why do you feel the need to police it?

raesewell Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I normally look for a location to see where the posers are from. I feel the need, not to police it but to protect the identity of our nation. It has to start somewhere. It seems the Americans stole our language, messed it up and they are now trying to send it back to us as English. It's probably the result of watching an enormous amount of American television programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a correction, it was an observation. If you want to raise this kind of issue there are plenty of alternative websites and forums you could use without having to tag on the end of a thread about a damaged fairing . You really don't do yourself any favours with these pointless little digs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
