People who constantly say " I love you " or just "Love you" mostly when ending a phone call, I think...Yeah I bet.

Once, you know, I went to a talk, you know, about how, you know, things were changing, you know.

But if I knew - why would I have gone to that talk!

It's not the size, it's the way you use it.

Another way of saying I have a small one.

Naughty but nice.

Then there is the thing that made me fly at an innocent woman in the hairdresser's.

It was my hairdresser's birthday and I had made her a gingerbread which I was delivering especially. The woman, who would not go out of her way to do anything for anybody, said "Very nice but very fattening."

Oh dear me, if it had not been the hairdresser's gingerbread, that woman would have been wearing it. or had it protruding from her in an uncomfortable manner!

"When all's said and done..."

"Very unique". No, it's unique or it isn't.

"Less" instead of "Fewer"

A chap called me 'me duck' the other day. Loved it. A bit like 'pet' from up North.

I digress - 'see you later' or even worse, 'laters'

Oh dear.

I use "babe". It is very much a Pompey word to call somebody "My babes", like "Me Duck" and "Hen".

As you travel further west toward Southampton, "My Babes" becomes "My Lover".

In a television programme this morning it was said that some lead stolen from a church roof was in a trailer, obviously under a blue tarpaulin.

As if you would put stolen lead under a green one! You would be a laughing stock around the scrapyards wouldn't you?
