Working in Woolies
when I was looking for a better job after finishing Uni, I was reunited with an 'orrible little oik I'd had the misfortune to go to school with. He was thick, unpleasant, and had been a nightmare for the teachers - constantly disrupting lessons.

Anyway, one day, me and him are both stocking the same aisle when an English teacher from our old school walks through.

'Ah, Snowy! How are you! Surprised to see you working here!'
'I've just finished Uni, Mrs. Pendleton. Just working here for a bit while I find another job.'

We then have a catch up about things, chat about literature, etc. (I'd done English), and then she wanders off down the aisle and Karl gives her a big smile expecting similar treatment'

'Hello Karl. I assume you're here permanently...'

I should point out, of course, that I'm not trying to stigmatise people doing low-paid jobs (God know, I've done plenty), I just thought it was brilliant of her...

"me and him"
"I'd done English"

Presumably you're not now the Editor of The Times.

Meh
I can't be bothered with grammar rules like that. I'm all for good, clear written English, and a staunch defender of proper grammar, but I also believe in writing as you'd speak, when appropriate. Both 'me and him' and 'I'd done English' are perfectly clear in their meaning.
