CommonFreddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."
My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

I know the ones you meanSeriously, what's with that one on the A1 heading to Apex Corner? It's huge.
I'm harbouring a suspicion someone got knocked over, then someone else got flattened trying to put flowers or an England flag on the crash barrier in the middle of the road, which lead to another round of flowers and flag attempts, leading to another death, and another round of flowers, and...
At least, I hope so. That way, the population of people who would leave flowers by the roadside is slowly being diminished.
