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?

Cash converters and even more so, Bright House.

No credit checks, buy a £300 tv for £4.50 a week over 150 weeks.

Good old Bright House.
We moved from Manc to Suffolk, taking with us a bed purchased on terms from them.

On arrival in suffolk we were donated a better bed and informed them that we no longer required the bed, stopped paying them and enquired if they would they like to come and reclaim it.

Mattress
If you buy a bed from BrightHouse and then say after a week you don't want it then if they can be bothered they will collect the bed, but never the mattress since a second hand mattress cannot be reused!

obviously they don't know me as well as they think they do.
