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?

Being an ex-inhabitant,I remember that statue well, on the run from the station into town, right? Unless some fucker's moved it in the 10 years since I've been there! It's a bit boring where I am now,in Jersey, there's a distinct lack of cone-foolery going on over here. And as for coming back, nah, bollocks, don't think I will, The Strand versus golden sand...go figure!
