I saw this on the Register, and assumed it was a joke!

I saw this in the Metro yesterday, and actually tore the article out to show people at work. Given that slovenly use of the English language is one of my pet hates – and the use of the ‘word’ ‘innit’ being a prime example – there was something supremely satisfying about this story!

Oh how I laughed!!

Awesome Daily Mail comments…

She definitely should not have received either an apology or a refund. The woman is one of our Nulabour illiterates, a product of our wonderful education system taught by teachers who have threatened strike action because they are “underpaid”. Unfortunately good English is seldom spoken or understood by the text generation. God help Britain because our children will not be able to.

I hate the Daily Mail. And its readers’ shit use of “quotation” marks. Innit.

That dozy bint is so incredibly, amazingly, brain-numbingly THICK that she actually manages to give Chavs a worse name than they had previously. I’m willing to bet she is such a Chavette that she wears Burberry knickers.

I remember after the Free Mandela concert in Hyde Park (this was when he was still in prison), almost all the newspapers reported the next day that a member of the audience was overheard to say ‘what time is Mandela on?’. They were trying to portray the concert-goers as ignorant cunts. It didn’t really happen, of course.

The Daily Mail is just maintaining that tradition with this alleged ‘story’.

Sorry, but the story was in ALL the papers, from the comics up to the heavies. They all ran it. It happened.

In any event, I work with a 40 year old white bloke who says INNIT all the fooking time. It appears at the end of every sodding sentence, regardless of whether it’s a question or a statement. This bird is – quite obviously – equally as brain-dead as the bloke I mentioned. I FOOKING HATE twats who say INNIT!!!!

I wondered whether it might be some sort of marketing ploy by the cabinet shop. Then I looked at the pictures of their cabinets and realised it would take more than national press coverage to shift those fugly bits of furniture.

As the article is pretty damn similar to this press release by the cabinet makers, I have my doubts about its veracity.

I have a problem with the use of ‘fooking’.

As do these people.

It’s a great story but…

The cabinet suppliers seem to know a bit too much detail about the directory enquiries call, the girl from south London is put through to a small display firm in Hertfordshire, not her local MFI, and is it really possible to make a sale take payment and arrange delivery without either party saying something to tip the other off that all is not right; “the right type of cabinet depends on what you want to display init?”
