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?

Is it common though?Is it a common practice of the area or limited to your family? (in which case it is an eccentricity and something to be proud of). 'Tis a bit odd though.
On the other hand Milton Keynes? common as muck. I'd never for a minute actually own up to living in Great Linfor....
Ahh fucksocks.

I don't think so...It's definitely not limited to just this one person in my family (not a blood relative). I have seen northern males on tv (usually on those Britains Hardest Pubs shows) who also say "boccle". Also, Les Battersby played by Bruce Jones (another scumbag)from Coronation Street says it too!
As you can see this statement has been heavily researched!!
Life in MK is not too bad if you like estate after estate of the exactly the same house, with front doors painted various colours for differentiation purposes!
But is does have one good thing, NEMESIS, that body popping group of Chav's!
