it's grammatically correct to say 'I' in all those cases

I disagree with the points you're making there katie1997. You're simply unable to understand the concept I'm trying to explain.

I meant it as in burke but without the 'r' sound (hard to spell if you think about it)- Same goes for cook, look etc.


I have no problem with 'luke' or any other genuinely accent/region derived pron. but when people pronounce it as though they were 5 years old and fail to rhyme book with rook (I know, that doesn't really help)it grates.


If this thread had said 'tiny little things that cause you rational rage' I would go further. But it doesn't. So I won't.

tallulah, it is you know: I = subject, me = object


I assume you meant "Rose21...No, it isn't"? If you're going to get all bloody nora about it, at least direct your ire not at the person who's agreeing with you.

    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
