A general point of interest which I've noticed is that often when people want to report what someone has said they say: And he's like, OMG what are you like? And I'm like, Waddya mean, what am I like? Bi-zarre.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -

You're having me in stitches here, innit? Or will Julie Burchill come along and call us middle-class snobs for making fun of honest working-class speech?
Dialogue I actually overheard in Crewe town centre (when there was a town centre there; don't ask) :
Young woman with push-chair to older woman just arriving ; 'Where've ya bin?'
'Well, I went to M&S and then I had to go to the... '
'A did'n ask ya that, I said where've ya bin?'
'Well, I've been to the market and...'
'A don' wanna know; A said where've ya bin?'
By now we realised she didn't mean 'where have you been?' but ' Are you not ashamed of having kept me waiting?'
