It's probably happened on here before, but i was in Tesco last night about 11.30pm.

See a mum with her 2 kids who were about 7/8 years old.
They were both still in their school uniforms.

Unless they were in some sort of kids night school, there's no reason to not have them changed.

The mum wasn't even one of those teeny bopper chavvy mums, she looked like one of those bog standard, middle age, overweight women you'd see working behind the desk of your local Hays travel agent.
wow. where to start:

shopping in tesco: chav (I'm going olod skool for the anniversary)
knowing what the inside of a travel agent looks like in 2024: chav
dissing what sounds like beautirful women with ideal school-related morals: chav

I think Americans are using the Spanish word for herb as a model - hierba, which is pronounced with a silent H and sometimes even spelt as yierba. We must not forget that half of North America was Spanish for 200 years before Anglo-Saxons arrived.

Similarly, their pronunciation of Jaguar, follows the Spanish pronunciation and as such is probably the more accurate one compared to British pronunciation.
Like "hagwa"?

It needs to be said that this "erb" thing doesn't hold much weight when honest, hour, heir and a bunch of other ones. There's probably a deeper linguistic reason they chose herb to have a silent H but whatever, it's just another bit of chaos in English no matter the variant.

Yes Spanish jaguar is "ha-gwar". Portuguese, that's where the word originates, is the pronunciation that Yankies use.

I was at a surprise 60th birthday party in a local pub last night(council).

There were 2x kids there, 3 and 5. The 3 year old was drinking Pepsi from her bottle at 9pm.

Aside from lawn bowls and croquet, are there any sports (and watching of them), not council?

Maybe a differentiator is the professional title - pro = council? Thinking football, horse racing, fighting….

We have a chav social club near us, which is a giant flat roofed shed building from the 40s

If you drive past at say 9 like you, you often see all the stty kids from my daughters school 4/5 years old, running around outside with a big bag of haribo

Its just a coincidence that these kids are the ones who feck about all day at school I’m sure

How to say water in Spanish, if you have a slight sore throat.

Pelota
Polo
Test Cricket, especially with Blowers on the microphone - as opposed to the modern short game crap
Yachting
... plus many more.

They are not "council" because they are not accessible to the "council", watch it in primary colours on ITV with sponsorship by BetFred crowd.
