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?

My home town
...which i left as soon as humanly possible for the Big Smoke of the city lights is the most common place on earth. Whenever i visit home though i am reminded that i am the only one who seems to think this. The place is a dump, its full of tracksuit-wearing yobs, the nightlife is atrocious (and yet despite this the biggest nightclub charges more to get into the place than half of the good clubs in the nearest city. And its a cesspit of granny-fanny. I have seen more fights in that place in one night than i have in the entire social life i have had in the city) The council are more bent than a seven bob note, and the police are like those you would see in a deep south america hick town. Crooked and bored. Yet despite this it claims to be a cultural hertage town bristling with history and sites. It isnt. Its a common as muck hell hole full of graffiti, pompous arsewits and scum. And i'm glad i dont live in its narrow minded streets no more!!

I was thinking Chelmsford
until you said that it claims to be a town bristling with History.

Chelmsford (or 'Chumsferd' as it is known to the locals) can't even boast that.

Ah Scotland, I'm suprised
Well not really, seeing as you said town that puts the big 5 out. Falkirk? Kirkcaldy?

Chelmsford
It's the birthplace of radio, you know! And they have that estate with the roads named after Charles Dickens characters. It's well historical innit.
