That's perfectly true, Billy, it's the increasing use of American phrases that annoys me. I don't mind Americans saying them, or Southerners saying Lunch, because that's what they call it. But why do we have to copy them?To get back to singing, Billy, do you remember The Turnkey in King Street? (Depends how old you are.) I was in there once in my youth, (many moons ago), and there was a group on, and the lead singer was belting out "Nutbush City Limits" in an Wigan accent broader than a pitman's clog. and it just DIDN'T WORK.....everyone was just falling about! The song was American and needed to be sung with the correct accent. I accept that, but as for "Twenty-four seven" etc., I am merely expressing my opinion, which surely everyone is entitled to. I am not expecting everyone to agree with my views.
