This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

Hold the lynchin', boys
Nope, you're totally correct.
At the moment there are three Argos Cenotaphs within the space of half a mile on the way to my work.
One is sacred to the memory of two little shits who were killed in a police chase having held up a petrol station. Fallen Souljahs innit?
The second is such a distraction that it caused a rear-end shunt yesterday evening (it's near a main junction on the A1) and the third is a tatty old mess that no-one feels able to clear away.

Does anyone ever remember seeing this before the death of Diana, Queen of Tarts? I believe the phrase is grief inflation.

I know the ones you mean
Seriously, what's with that one on the A1 heading to Apex Corner? It's huge.

I'm harbouring a suspicion someone got knocked over, then someone else got flattened trying to put flowers or an England flag on the crash barrier in the middle of the road, which lead to another round of flowers and flag attempts, leading to another death, and another round of flowers, and...

At least, I hope so. That way, the population of people who would leave flowers by the roadside is slowly being diminished.

Apparently
The police chase started at Dollis Hill - I'm surprised they got that far!
