Expresions that realy iratate me, you still owe some tax, you last bill is still outstanding, you do not have enough in your acount to cover ths, you will have to pay interest on the outstanding amount. Enough to make any ,an mad as hell.

That's interesting, as I thought the 'like' was peculiar to scousers only. I have to confess that I am originally from the Wirral which makes me an honorary scouser so I have to be careful.
I think the 'like' has two uses. In men it follows most sentences. In women it is used as a precursor to a facial expression. Either one is irritating.

Always thought of this as a derogative term for our German friends but not so. Filled up the car recently in Wrexham and was referred to as 'hun' by a lady attendant. I usually get grandad or similar.

Alright Squire.? Do you need anything else Squire?

People who refer to organisations or situations purely by initials when only a limited number of other people know what they are talking about are really annoying and probably ill mannered
