    I’d be tempted to say “No, I’m sorry you cannot, but what you can get is a knowledge of some good manners including the use of the words may, please and thank you.” I’d probably be dismissed and injured at the same time :biggrin:.

        You "bringed" the very words out of my mouth @KT53 :biggrin: Whilst I haven't frequented cafes/takeaways for years, I have heard heard many people complaining about ordering something and always being asked "Do you want fries with that ? ". Nothing to say exactly what the "fries" are tho ..........the Chef's fingers perhaps ?

          I’m irritated by so many ancient GC threads being resurrected with links to other sites. Yes, I know I don’t need to look at them...

              It's not all that easy to do when you can read and write! Many years ago I was asked if I would like to do some proof reading and gave me a short manuscript to proof. It was hard work and the pay was rubbish!

                @pete the only thing I would describe as 'cool' is either beer or wine fresh out of the fridge.

                Hey! The only reason I'm on the admin team is to get that book written! I just can't decide on the title - GC, The Amalgamated Posts, or GC, The Amalgamated Posts', or GC, The Amalgamated Post's :biggrin:
