Mine is that no-one seems able to say "brought" any more. They
all say "bought" as past tense of "bring". (yet no-one says
"bing" :-) )

Good grief! Thankfully I haven't yet heard that one.

First heard on Classic FM : "the weather forecast is bought to you
by Powergen". Then Princess Michael of Kent : "our son wasn't
bought up to ..." So common on the soaps now that my wife can
hardly bring (bing?) herself to say "brought" any more!

When she did bing herself, then she would of bought herself to say
"brought".

Ah yes, "would of" instead of "would have" is another all too common
abomination.

Yes, an import from the USA that we could well do without. I've heard
BBC reporters use this on a few occasions which says something about the
standard of people they're employing these days.

I thought when I looked at the temperature of 17.5°C here this morning as I got up I thought that here in the SW we would be the warmest place in the British Isles but no, most places even northern Scotland are in the range 16-18°C, not surprising really when most of us are sat in a broad warm sector. It's strange that Carole would say that we are sat between two weather fronts on this mornings forecast rather than use the phrase 'warm sector', she obviously thought that it was far too technical a term for the general viewer to understand.

A minimum of 17.0C last night. Nothing unusual for the time of year.

It was 17.0°C min here too. Not freakish, but pretty high and probably the highest of the year.

Hmm, bad call. Last night had a min of 17.4°C with a quite fresh SE'ly breeze.
