"Going for a wee" A wee what??

Haha ha! I just can't keep away! BONKERS!!

I have a big toilet and a little toilet, and I often call them 'the lav'. I have a living room which I often call the 'front room' even though it's at the back. I have a sofa. Which I sometimes call a settee. Sometimes I call my dinner, my tea. Usually on a Saturday, and always on a Sunday. I don't use serviette so. Or napkins.

Leave wot alone. She's just bonkers.

Oh good wot. Welcome back, after what is probably the shortest break in the history of Gransnet grin

FarNorth Sun 03-Apr-16 22:30:27

I have a living room with a sofa in it, a bathroom, no napkins when I eat breakfast, dinner and tea. Tea is not my main meal, that's dinner.

Indinana Sun 03-Apr-16 22:30:08

Yes, and me, I also have a lounge. My dear departed neighbour, a wonderful old lady who was head of English at the local grammar school, held the word in such utter derision that I could never look her in the face and admit that was what I called our 'sitting room' grin.

Oh, Indinana, thank you. I was gonna leave the entire Gransnet but I can't! Never been a sulker. I,'ll leAve this thread though.

Indinana Sun 03-Apr-16 22:24:55

Oh wot please don't go! I'm hoping you're only saying goodbye to this thread and not to Gransnet shock

wot Sun 03-Apr-16 22:22:32

Goodbye. I seem to have a bad habit of unintentionally annoying people.

Indinana Sun 03-Apr-16 22:21:21

Just as an aside: a friend told me a story many years ago of a little girl who told her she was moving to a new house. "And in our new house", she said, "we have a living room AND a dying room!"

Sorry. As you were wink

Ana Sun 03-Apr-16 22:18:26

Oh please don't let yet another lighthearted and harmless thread descend into chaos over an unintentional insult. wot has apologised. Profusely. Leave it there.

wot Sun 03-Apr-16 22:11:53

I also don't want arguments. If I have offended I apologised. Where was I being ironic or patronising?

wot Sun 03-Apr-16 22:09:34

You said I was patronizing to say I wanted move up north. What is wrong with my saying that???

lynnie1 Sun 03-Apr-16 22:08:14

Come out with what ? You were incredibly rude to a comment I made. I don't come online to argue with strangers. Crack on...
