Ian has asked me to post this for him.
Thanks!
Might there be a chance of some high-resolution copies? I've never seen these before.
What really riles me is a "passenger" on a train or whatever, being referred to as a "customer".
When in the States I always ask for the lavatory, never the "restroom" or "bathroom" - I neither want a rest nor a bath - use of expression bringing either a puzzled look or one of outrage. Another very annoying thing our American friends do is to refer to Christmas as "Holidays". A TV advert for perfume used that tonight - it's just a waste of time in the UK; mention "holiday" and everyone thinks of the summer. Did you notice that Mr.Trump always insists on using the correct term and wishing people a "Merry Christmas", not a "Happy Holiday"?
