Member 4923, 1795 posts | Fatpete said: I think of many things language related but I hadn't thought of that. Some of my favourites are - "You're not a million miles away" meaning you're very close, and other random stuff that means something different to what it appears to mean. We used to have a linoleum lined corridor that ran from the offices and warehouse to the canteen. It was very well used and the lino duly fell to bits, it was replaced with laminated flooring. One of the workers was admiring the new floor when the American site manager saw him and asked him what he thought of it. "Very nice" came the reply "but if your boots are wet it isn't half slippy" "Gonna need an explanation" replied the manager "I know what slippy means, but I never heard of half-slippy. And you aren't saying that this is half slippy but that it isn't" That took some explaining that no Englishman would have ever needed However I will give more thought to the excellent point you raise and thank you warmly for the raising of it. Thank you Oh yes, as an Irishman I always thought the British "not half" expression was quite peculiar. I've also always found "you had better.." a curious case too, surely the 'had' is superfluous? | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17903 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | A relatively inspired four XYXXY XXXXX XYXXG Just I was thinking "Blimey, This could be anything" The most likely ending presented itself, I greeted it warmly of course and it introduced me to a very likely option. Having no reason not to, and not wanting to appear discourteous to the newly presented option, I went ahead with happy results. | ||

This is what we decided on. Hopefully back to normal next week | ||
