This one seriously bugs me too and it's getting worse! A while back on Absolute Radio, a woman on the phone told the DJ, Christian O'Connor, that he should say 'aitch' and not 'haitch'. He said 'How do you know you're not wrong?'. Her answer, 'Because I went to school'. Ouch!!!
That's quite funny. But even as someone that says "aitch" I think that's convention, rather than right or wrong. I also don't say the "l" in almond, but again, that's just a convention. The "l" is there. There is also no "r" in the word bath - but I pronounce it as if there were. Funnily enough, even as a man from Kent, I say "Glasgow" instead of "Glarsgow".A Scottishism I think....
Weather event. The weather is constant, it does not start or stop, two key characteristics of an event. All the fault of the infantile BBC weather forecasters.
The recent weather has exacerbated the issue to a grip my st level of frustration. Which brings me to my second bête noire, piss. Piss is very rarely, if ever, boiled and I am confident that most people do not frequently clutch or grab at passing st. Yet, to a casual observer the pistonheads population expend a great deal of their energy partaking in both activities. Odd does not cover it.

Those are universal sayings though. I may occasionally say, "fk me", but I don't mean it literally. Unless I'm with the missus. But then I have been known to say to her, "fk me, leave me alone", so she's understandably wary.Chlamydia said:
