Thank you.

Yorkshire, England
In the United Kingdom the phrase is commonly used by people to describe Yorkshire, England's largest county. This is used interchangeably with God's Own County.

ALL the other drivers and pedestrians in my home town today.
Radio 5 Live's sports programmes for turning every conversation/debate around to talk about Manchester United.
People who WILL NOT put their sodding phone down for ANYTHING, be it being served in a shop, driving, or anything else.

Malham; Gods own Ocean.
The Aire; Gods own stream.
Bradford; Gods own toilet.
Actually, the last one does have a ring to it.

God is too big to "only" have a county, he must have a country at least, ergo God's Own Country and we're big enough to be a small country anyway. DaveGoddard said:

Little shop near me refuses to serve people who use their mobile phone in the shop!Todays annoyance is the phrase "Pocket Rocket". It seems to be used to describe any female under 5'3" and I am sick of hearing it.

Pocket Rocket's a very old phrase with a now different meaning. Was used to describe a 1980s Hot hatch like a GT Turbo, 205 GTI etc.

I had a go at a woman in Asda (yes I know, what did I expect ...) the other day for answering her phone twice while ordering her pizza. It's not just annoying for the people in the queue behind, it is disrespectful to the person serving you. Films that pan over the Pyramids on the Giza plateau with the title - Cairo, Egypt.
A shot of the Eiffel Tower... Paris, France.
The Brandenburg Gate.... Berlin, Germany
Big Ben... London, England.
YES!! I know it's f
king England you retarded cretin. London or Cairo is enough - I can work the rest out. I know it's not fking Florida.
Breathe deeply.
And relax.

Indeed. And not least because there is an American town of city of the same name for pretty much any you care to mention. Certainly London and Paris.Because, you know, if you refer to Paris there may be confusion over whether you mean the capital of France or a town in Texas.

I know a Tesco employee who mentioned he would be able to take her order if she stopped yacking on the phone, Tesco sacked him.227bhp said:

I'd ask "What's that?"
"Oh, it's just something really funny that Stephen Fry has tweeted"
But as you said, not really a mate.
