popped into Tesco express this evening as had to return an item via Evri. Women in front with died purple hair very skinny looked like a user walks up to pay in front of me, a frozen pizza which is reduced and wanted a flavoured vape, card declined so she put the pizza back and just took the vape.

There was only one then she was a woman, singular. Only if there were more than one were they women, plural.

How has this become so commonplace? I have even heard people get it wrong in speech so it cannot be blamed on autocorrect.

Inability to use basic English nouns correctly. Council.

When you heard it in speech did you point it out to them? I'm just asking as I often find the spelling police like to hide behind keyboards.

I do apologise for my mistake though.

No, I didn't point it out to them because it was in a video, but, being the annoying prick that I am, I would've if I could've.

Apology accepted. beer

I know of someone who was a 3-4 bottles of wine a day man plus at least a pack of fags a day, he fell over at his home and broke his hip, he propped himself up on the sofa and drank and smoked everything that was around him and then called for an ambulance,he had a stash next to the sofa for emergencies I assume, he did the same when he had a heart attack as well.
When I broke my hip and femur, I sat in my garage for roughly an hour "smoking a fag" and drinking tea.
I couldn't get to my Spiced Rum.

Agreed. A job- a proper hob, with employment law and everything, is not council. Cash in hand might be, of course...

Being interviewed for the radio news regarding the 10/11 year wait with Southampton council for a house, during the interview you state..." I'm a nurse currently on maternity leave living in a 2 bed flat with 4 children...."

Helps to get into the house quicker. My previous supervisor's daughter did the same. Had four kids by three different blokes so got up the duff by another bloke so she got moved up the housing ladder quicker. Got a house that was two houses but got knocked into one. Kids don't see any of their dad's. Good track record for 24 years old.

The village we live is is a mixed bag, overall a nice place, mostly normal housing with a mix of social throughout

Since we arrive a few years ago we have noticed a orrid family always causing issues / moaning about their small house how unfair it is etc with their 5 kids on face book…

My daughter has just started school, she keeps coming back talking about jaxson, disrupting the class all day long you guessed it - the chav family kid

She’s looking pregnant again, new house is 3 months away - god bless the tax payer

Meanwhile my friend (a parent from daughter’s class) cant have another kid because they can’t afford it. He is a council warden and she is a casualty nurse, proper salt of the earth types

Terrible really
