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.

    • There's planning permission for 2 houses.  Southwark planning site is too slow today to use, but found this link from Savills to auction the site: https://auctions.savills.co.uk/auctions/19--26-november-2024-158/3335-hansler-road-east-dulwich-london-se22-9dj-13236   Edited to add that the inclusion of lower ground floor in the planning application description indicates that basements will be dug.  Looks like Fellbrigg/Hansler is up for some heavy construction traffic next year.   Links to planning documents: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=RZDIQMKBI2V00
