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.

    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL.
