I preferred it when we called it Jafake-un and ripped the piss out of people for speaking in such a stupid way.(It's multicultural London English, the accent that's emerging from so many different accents and ways of talking in London we now have)
Teenagers have always had stupid ways of talking, I like come from the generation that like brought you saying "like" too much (without the need to be a Geordie), and calling stuff "gay" when it was neither happy nor homosexual. But we didn't like create a whole made-up accent about it because that would have been like... gay.
Meh, hopefully it will die out and the next generation will speak in a non-stupid way. It could happen.

That's a very precise number of copies sold. I wonder if it goes up one on each cover every time one is sold. That would be clever !PauloHendo said:

There are a few but most are decent , don’t wander down into the toxic world of depravity that is NP&E if the lounge upsets you , because those feckers will be frothing for blood , some REALLY odd sorts frequent that place seemingly 24/7 . I lob in a grenade every so often just to see their sad reactions, feckless losers ! kers who try to make others feel small for a typo that is still easily understood from context, or is it just a few folk?PauloHendo said:

At the moment, the CoOp TV advert where the guy tells us that the apparently price match with Audi.
The screen says Aldi, he says Audi.
Even my wife commented on it.
I've noticed that the local accent round here makes these two words indistinguishable. I don't know what the technical term is (failed fricative?), but I don't think people are connecting their tongue with the top of their mouth when saying an "L" sound. They also say "ow" to refer to a nocturnal carnivorous bird, there is no "L" to be heard.The screen says Aldi, he says Audi.
Even my wife commented on it.
ETA apparently L is a voiced alveolar lateral approximant. That's a new term for me.

The Sainsbury ad does a sort of comparison of prices with Aldi.The screen says Aldi, he says Audi.

Only it doesn't. A girl is standing in various weather conditions muttering something. But they don't do a price comparison with Aldi - or Lidl.
It's called answering a question by not answering the question.
