UK see's surprise fall in retail spending

chewmylegoff

Are you doing that thing with apostrophes in thread titles just to annoy me, or are you going to try to claim that this apostrophe signifies a contraction and not a possessive again?

See is Graham's South Korean friend who lives in the UK. He's been trying to cut back a little in October.

Apart from missing the capital letter on "See" looks OK to me.

UK See's a great bloke - laugh a minute.

This one says it more brutally, NSFW (swear words)

Basic grammar is important imo, a lot of people say it isn't. If you're too stupid to use basic written english then I'll assume any argument you're making in the process is also stupid, seeing as whatever you're arguing about is almost certainly more complicated than '.

I disagree. In fact, the English cracked enigma as a result of ze Germans being so anal about this stuff

I buy a lot of day to day items in the new Aldi rather than Tesco's as its cheaper. So decline in total sales is misleading. As I still buy the same items. Just spend less.

Given the popularity of the shop since it opened. Many feel the same.

Ive started shopping in Waitrose. The quality of people, both customers and staff make it very worthwhile.

I thought they cracked Enigma because:

a) The Poles, or somesuch, captured a machine
b) A German soldier did not follow the 'anal' rules, and lazily re-sent a message without resetting the code. Thus the British were able to compare the two messages.

Should we ignore this then?

Perhaps Graham is talking about the 'Holy See' in his thread title? http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm. The Holy See is based in the Vatican, not the UK. Perhaps Graham is setting up a new religion in the UK with him as Pope and all his MSE Arschkriechers as Acolytes?

As an aside, I always find it difficult to believe the financial analysis or advice of anyone who makes such basic spelling or grammatical errors, whether in the press, on internet blogs or indeed with the forum ramblings of the poorly educated.

So we're disciples of the pope now are we. Whatever happened to Sheriff graham and his deputies?

I much prefer being a deputy renoman because I don't care much for religion.
