couple, us we him her.

I confused one of the guys at work the other day when describing a window that had rotted out and glass falling out.

" Fuck mate that windows Gone for a Burton"

He asked what

" Gone for a Burton "

Meant

FFS

Everything has gone pear shaped if people don't understand, I also said that the window was probably made by " Heath Robinson"

He was very confused

Locals love that phrase. I don't go a single day without hearing at least one person say it. And with that local accent

I share the same accent and it's bloody awful.
