    Years ago, it was usual to be asked "butter or marge" ? and I suppose many of used the soft g after that.

    See original post

    You get asked (in our canteen) if you want "spread" ....or not!  If you want butter you have to buy a pat (or two).  Being asked butter or marge must have died out.

    Glad to hear the consensus is that I didn't imagine Mr Partington's words! image

    Our horrible teacher taught gym - she sent me off the hockey pitch for swearing after I was whacked in the mouth with a hockey stick by my best friend.  I was most miffed because you're not supposed to lift the stick above your shoulder so it was actually a foul!!   Not that it bothered me or stuck with me or anything!

    I know, in context foul language was worse than a foul when you're 12-13'ish but I didn't think it set good sporting competitive standards to punish me when actually the whistle should have gone for the stick above the shoulder thing.  Harrumph!   (notice I didn't swear at all when recalling this story).

    We played lacrosse. The most boring game invented. It could only have been improved by a smack in the gobimage

    I'll join you B3  image Years ago I did a plan of the garden but given that I'm forever moving things, it was a waste of time.

     B3, i got a cold shiver down my back when they started talking about garden diaries.....I can't even be bothered to remember to label seedlings, never mind write notes about them in a diary image
