            I smell bull.. common as muck me. "School dinner" will never be school lunch, same for Sunday/cooked dinner, at least where I'm from, no matter where your standing on the classes scale. Sofa is also a common everyday word, settee is considered posh round 'ere.. and what if you say "Hiya" instead of hello/hey? *face palm* Dialect not taken into account, I presume.

                  I guess I'm not posh either. When I say "aunt" I pronounce it without the u. Must be because I stole it to put in my "Canuck" self descriptiom :)

                    Oh dear!

                    I was brung up in Norf London and the East End but the teachers in skool used to whack us round the ear if we didn't talk proper. :noidea:

                    We were never allowed to drop aitches and that has stuck.
                    I used to say 'hello' but now say 'hi'.
                    For me it's a settee in the lounge.
                    Dinner and lunch depend on the food being served by the servants :heehee:. If it's in the middle of the day it's lunch unless it's a full blown 'dinner'. :snorky:
                    Dinner is usually in the evening unless it's a supper. :doh:
                    It's definitely dessert - unless it's a pudding. In which case I call a pudding. :biggrin:
                    Always a loo.

                    So only about four Non-U out of the 29. I'm posh so you've got to bow and scrape or doff your cap. :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                      Did any one else notice ... the Non-U's vocabulary was quite ... American? :dunno:

                      We would never have noticed ;) :heehee:

                      Thank goodness for small mercies then ... at least you say aitch and not the dreaded ... :shhhh:

































                      ... haitch :gaah:

                        I'm not posh but I do try to talk properly. My wife's family thought I was posh when they first met me.

                        My midday meal is my lunch. My dinner is my main cooked meal regardless of time of day. In our house we have lunch and tea. (tea uses fewer syllables and is therefore easier to say)

                        I lengthen my a sounds in Castle, grass, path etc. I'm not sure why because I didn't speak like that when I was at school.

                        Why can't you ask for a Latte. You would look pretty stupid standing at the counter asking for coffee. It is what it is. (That's one of my favourite sayings by the way). I don't say "I'm going out for a latte" who does?

                        One of my wife's expressions I love is "I shink so". (I should think so). I try to use it as often as I can.

                        :snorky:

                            Whatever drink I order I always ask for small. That throws them because small isn't an option. I asked for a small drink in McDonalds(I think) to be told "we don't do small only medium and large". I replied I will have the one that isn't large.
