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?

Probably already mentionedwhen people take the kitchen table chairs out into the street, sit there and drink all afternoon and into the night. Yes, the houses may have small, south-facing front gardens, but do they need to spill out onto the street?

Spoooky...I think that ANYONE that feels the need to move their dining room, er, I mean kitchen furniture into the street to drink beer and smoke tabs HAS to have a smelly house. I also bet that they leave their homebrand ketchup and condiments on the kitchen table - permanently - rather than put them back in the cupboard where they belong....
