@atensnut When people say “the point being is…” 🤪😆
It’s either “the point being” followed by the reason, or “the point is” followed by the reason.
“The point being is” makes no sense, as though a “point being” is a certain type of point, perhaps a particularly pointy point 🤣

@NeedaGin @BBCNews Just seen this and was shocked! The bbc was such a stronghold for spelling and grammar…

@ajbonner @CeliaBedelia Here in Cornwall the conversation would go something like: “Alright”, “Alright” - roughly translated as: “Hi, how are you?” “I’m fine, thank you! How are you?” … and you’ve said everything and nothing, all in one word each 😁

@germany_iam I came here for the Kaffee and Kuchen…

Compulsory Purchase Orders apply to:
business owners and occupiers
agricultural owners and occupiers
residential owners and occupiers
Just wait for this to kick in when Sunak's 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs are installed.

@KevinDenny @germany_iam A perfect contrast 😂

@Jenoir4 @blitzkopf @germany_iam In Brit English saying “That’s handy!” means good or useful eg “It’s handy that the car park is so close to the restaurant”
“Do you have a pen handy?” is short for “Do you have a pen to hand?” (similar to US English)
You wouldn’t call a person “handy” - too close to handsy 😂😳😱

@tobikliem @40PercentGerman 😃 I introduced one of those into my German student flat and my fellow (German) flatmates were amazed… not to mention their awe of the kettle I brought with me😆

@germany_iam I lived in Frankfurt and worked in Rüsselsheim for many years (I wonder where?😃). I love hearing about it now, so I’m enjoying the tweets 👍😃

@jezwyke @HowarthCharles @germany_iam @MikeStuchbery_ The same procedure as every year, James… 😁

@Tiriondil @Lynn_Nothegger @OutOfSamu Herrje was used as an expression of frustration or exasperation in our household. If it was used, you knew you ought to start looking for cover because things might well be kicking off soon…

@BettinaSRoss1 Aber klar! 😃

Point 7: many foreign diplomats say they long to see a return to the world stage of the calm, steady & reliable Brits of old, who backed due process & the rule of law & who tended to be on the sensible side of most arguments.

@YunoeHoo @IanDunt My MacBook will be 10 years old in 3 months. Used virtually all day every day for work. Travelled plenty with it. Still going strong…

@crowmogh @Greenfleeves ‘Sucks the heart out of a place’ is exactly it. I recognise the geography of St Ives but I don’t really recognise the place anymore. All the houses where people lived when I was young are now holiday houses. The town feels hollow although it’s heaving
