Ok numbers, I now know who not to go to when I need to get my hands on a couple of melons....oooerrrr!

Second rate Carry On double entendres aside, I get broccoli, it's a word we might right down often i.e. shopping lists, but I suspect some of the other words people are citing are never written down, they just look like hard words to spell.

Jah and Chrysanthemums made me chuckle, they just don't go...unless he's started smoking them ;-)

It was a long time before a realised there was a difference.



There used to be a trader called a "stationer" (as opposed to one with a moving stall). And he sold "stationery". This helps me to remember.

I really have to think hard over licence / license. C for noun in English. S for adjective. S for all uses in American.


But in practice (or is it practise) S is often used for software licences even by English companies.

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
    • That's like the cartoon of the person who goes to IKEA for tea lights, comes out laden with stuff and says "Damn, I forgot the tea lights"  😂 
    • Have you tried contacting the company the laptop belongs to? I expect they would be interested.....
    • Last week I bought a Galaxy Chromebook Go on this forum, the seller was not home when I went to pick it up, I texted him and he found an excuse apologized and said he could deliver,  I accepted and later that evening he delivered the item in the original box ... all seemed ok until my son (it was supposed to be a present for him) opened it and tried to log in his google account, to our surprise it stated that the laptop was property of a company and could not be used without authorization. We tried to contact the seller, and he initially provided some excuses, but after his initial responses, he stopped replying to our messages. I informed EDForum but no action has been taken as the seller is still present on the forum... I am very disappointed
