I now dwell in the land of Obama, but my grandparents lived in the Republic of Armley.

I read in the paper the other day that someone has devised an on-line "Gran Slang" dictionary to help kids in the text talk generation understand what older people are saying. I think it's already been done on this thread!!

Mind you, I bet the old H&S would have the major incident clean-up team out if yer took the top off a tin these days - see the one in the news this week?Police called to a suspicious, strange smell comming from a car with a broken window. The Fire Brigade were called to clean up and the Poice Officers who came into contact with it (wonder why they did?) were taken to Hospital but released later once the HP Brown sauce had been washed off their hands! I don't think any comment is needed to that
