I agree with Keef completely. Although he knows I do.

As an outsider who has nevertheless been close to and associated with poms all my life and lived here for nigh on a decade I can honestly say that your adherence to outdated and sometimes mean spirited ideas of class is something that lets you down as an otherwise pleasant enough nation. This goes for both sides of the spectrum.

I do have to caveat that though by saying that for the economically excluded, of which there is a significant population in Britain, the idea of belonging to a class is possibly all they have.

I couldn?t give a dam about Winterbottoms mind you.

I think you are confusing apostrophe with ellipsis.

God, that makes me feel better :))

[cate]

Sue,

Ellipsis - apostrophe - what?

You were having a go at Woof about his punctuation - specifically, you said he was using too many apostrophes. I believe you had actually counted them, and said there were nine.

Not sure why this was an issue for you, but I just wanted to point out, in an equally pedantic way, that an apostrophe is this: ' and I didn't see any of those in Woof's post.

However an ellipsis (which Woof was using perfectly correctly as far as I can see) is this: ...

Clearer?

Will the thrills of this thread ever cease?!

[candj]

Sue - Not to be more confusing, but I believe that Cate meant the apostrophes in It's was used incorrectly.

Sooo sorry, off topic.

[Brendan]

So was it a contraction of it is or a possessive it? eh?

And when did round brackets become eclipses?

And is a possessive it the correct term?

And while we?re at it will Laura ever fuck Urckle?

I counted 9 incorrect apostrophes in his post.

1 -It's offered beer is bland Stella/Fosters/Heineken/golden generic froth

2 -It's food is "ready meal" bland curry/pie/roast

3 -It's interiors are bland repro pine/antique brass/ stuff

4 -It's art is bland....

5 -It's carpets are naff

6 -It's bogs smell of nasty air freshners..

7 -It's service is bland..

8 -It's staff are bland....

9 -It's punters are......
