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?

Living among chavs
There are some obvious differences between my household and the rest of the street.

My kids, under the age of 8, aren't running about the street at 11pm on a school night.

The exhaust pipe on our car is as it was the day the vehicle left the factory.

And, if my wife and I do have an argument it doesn't take the form of a slanging match, in the street at 3am.
