I was at the bar of the H&H last week and a hipster-type wandered up and asked "Can I get a Budweiser and a coffee?".
"No, you can't" came the reply. "That's my job, but if you ask me nicely then I could get them for you". Way to go, Ruth baby!
Unfortunately my two lads and their wives have caught this "Can I get...?" habit - where does it come from? Some God-awful American TV program, no doubt.

I can (almost) forgive Australian and Welsh folk for rising terminators - that's part of their accent, isn't it? (You can't actually replicate it in writing!)

Presumably you mean 'aloominum' and 'sodder'?

Amen to that.
