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?

Caravan holidaysI know the talk is supposed to be about being common, but the best thing about having a holiday in a caravan is taking all the cushions off the settees, taking off the hardboard and finding the stuff that gets hidden there. Caravan holidays aren't the same if you take your own duvet along with you; you have to use the old damp blankets that they provide.
I used to teach a lad who was challenged in the height stakes (I'm old...in my day he was called a midget!) He got a job when he left school helping to fit out caravans cos he could get into places that no one else could!
