    Oh it drives me mental when someone who is talking about slowing down in their car says "I broke" - broke what? You mean you braked? Grrrrr!

    'Chester draws' reminds me of something (which I'm sure I saw on here) where someone described something as being locked up like 'fork knocks' :rotfl:

    I was in the local garden centre a while back and was chuffed to see that there were actually fork handles next to candles, of which there were some boxes of 4. My kids didn't get it. There was I just repeating, 'it's fork handles! Four candles!' :rotfl: I'm easily pleased. :p

    That's truly awesome.

    On another note, my sister has been making formal complaints to her mobile phone company about their service, and she was sent an email back that said "you should of maid this payment..." My sister was more angry about that than the fact that they failed to sort the problem! :D

    I agree - although all the credit must go to whoever wrote it in the first place (not me!!)

    I just remembered another one that annoys me - when people talk about men getting 'prostrate cancer'. I have heard some (supposedly) well educated people get that one wrong :mad:
