This is a question Common

Freddy 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 logon to QotW and the first post is one insulting my home town!
lol though I see what you mean. I moved here from Bromsgrove, seeing that £110k will get you are fairly room 3bed house here, as opposed to Bromsgrove where £110k will get you laughed out of the estate agents.

Benefit dependancy is my biggest gripe with this town - the council seem to be doing everything to house every Wayne and Waynetta who can't be arsed to work but managed to sire 6 brats. We've just had a BNP candidate do quite well in the elections too; voted in by the irony of the british dole scroungers moaning about the large population of Polish workers who have filled the vacancies that the Wayne and Waynettas can't be arsed to do.

However in its defence we've got a lot of facilities, awesome roads (I've lived here 3 years and never got stuck in a traffic jam - the roads are so damn wide!) good public transport and seems to be attracting a lot of local investment.

Downside - we've got Jaqui "phone tapping/email snooping" Smith as our MP.

Bollocks.
