Shakespeare wasn't too arsed about spelling himself, spelling his own name in different ways. The spelling, grammar, punctuation correct English police, seem to have been created by anally retentive Victorians to pin our language and writing down to a fixed point which they called correct or proper English. The debate should really be about communication, if you know what 'c u L8er m8' means that could be argued as good enough.
The study of Shakespeare may well help some of the language complaints mentioned here, although we're way off topic. Shakespeare used the phrase: 'light thickens' for example...is that good use of language or nonsense? personally I think creating such a phrase is genius.
Like we could broaden our skills set innit. Wills does a neat line in insults such as -'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O for breath to utter what is like thee! you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile standing-tuck!
Was it just co-incidence that the Valley Express coaches today all seemed to be from the same company or has there been some streamlining going on?
I doubt if this is the case. The Redwing/Reliance coaches usually park one side of the roundabout and the New Enterprise and Rambler coaches the other side.
Reliance wouldn't fancy the Sussex pick-ups and would be much more expensive if sent there, since they come out of a depot in Gravesend, or Camberwell in the case of Redwing.

"do you know what I mean?"
I'm sure this would only enrich one of the most widely spoke languages in the world.

Good idea, "in it" ben
"Oh, you mug, you biting your fecking thumb at me?"
"I'm biting my thumb you mupput, what's it to you?"
