Good job I did not launch into Volume 2 of Brummie Loyk It Wam which explores the sub patois of posh pronunciation wherein words are gentrified - kettle becomes kekkul, bottle becomes bokkul, album becomes albun (see Peaky Blinders) and mangle the word that started this prance around the mulberry bush was pronounced mandle by aspirational guttersnipes like those from whom I am descended.Brian, no worries. I have to agree, though: I think your Volume 2 would have left me utterly bewildered - even more than your family in-joke did. If you want any additional conversation-starters comparing English and Norwegian etymology just let me know - but hopefully there's a better place than the Rémi Garde thread for that on this site? I feel I have taken this thread too much off topic already (with the help of others, obviously).

Yes. Sorry for calling it a sandwich. I have lived away too long. A piece was indeed a slice with jam or whatever on it.
I lived in a lovely Cheltonian bubble where rolls were rolls until I did college in Coventry (batch indeed). With a lad from Blackburn twatting on about barmcakes. And then I moved to Brum. And then the Black Country.....
It's becoming apparent that Garde wasn't brought in to keep us up. That would be a bonus. He's the type of manager who needs pre season and a couple of transfer windows to make an impact. He's not going to get us the Sherwood type of instant, but very short term boost which is what we need right now. Long term it will be fine but we will starting the proper Garde era in the division below.
Yes let's sack him at HT and get Warnock in🙄
