calling soil 'dirt'

Allotment holders who are given warnings for the state of the plot, who then put in a couple of hours, look busy and dash off and then do nothing until the next letter comes through.

And then committee's who take this a fresh start and keep them on site when there are waiting lists..............why should I care they are not even next to me on the plot. It does not seem fair when there is a waiting list.

Personalised NUM 83R plates that aren't.

The dumbing down of the English language with the over-use of the more obscene swear words in public:and substituting words such as"gonna","gunna",and "sorta" for the proper words.

And people ,even educated people saying wiv instead of with! I wonder how they spell it?
