I have become one of those 'old English people'. I say 'quarter past', '10 to', as so on. I thought it was still fairly common.

Ohh...is that why. I haven't heard it called that since that one time, I must admit. The irony is that I heard it from a foreigner asking me if I knew this British term because someone had used it with her. |

My boys were born in Manchester. With the first one, I’d been living in the UK for 10 months, fairly proficient in American English… I had a lovely friend who also had a baby, she came over to visit as I was in the deepest throes of postnatal depression, and she said in her most delightful Oldham accent:
“Right, poppet- off we go to the softplay, it is lush and the lady running it makes the best brew for miles… “
I understood half of that, and by “brew” I thought it was really something from a cauldron, or at least some beer! |
