I was once asked by someone in Tesco's 'are you 18?'
Being a bit of a joker, I said 'no' - this caused no end of confusion as the girl on the checkout who asked me was being trained and she didn't have English as her first language.

The woman training her got confused as well and asked me how old I was, I said '34' (or whatever it was at the time) and we then got intoa debate about how the original question should have been asked. Asking me if I'm 18 will get the answer 'no' asking me if I'm over '18' will get the answer 'yes'

Turned out the girl being trained was asking everyone their age, regardless of what they were buying and how old they were.

If you ever make it over the pond.
You can drink 'till you're sick without worrying about losing your ID or being expected to tip anyone working in a bar or pub.

Don't be doing that
Or poor Kristine will end up sitting in a Wetherspoons somewhere wondering why all British people have no teeth and wear tracksuits.

I don't know anyone that wears tracksuits
even when they were popular here, people would only wear the bottoms
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 8 Jun 2011, 20:08, Reply)

Still a popular - if highly inflamable - choice of leisurewear here
The bottoms are more popular than the tops - I believe that in the strata of society to whom this enduring apparel appeals the top is analogous to a dinner jacket.

you're mixing up track suits
and shell suits

At one point I was a chum of Crazy Legs.
His real name is Richard Colon, you know. You would change your monicker if your parents named you Dick Colon wouldn't you. You would though, eh. Wouldn't you.

It seems you wouldn't.
Maybe I can get you to change your user name to Dick Colon then.

Crazy Legs was last spotted (by me) on an episode of Faking It
The Channel 4 show.

That would be because you have a special interest in the bumming category.
