Oh, that was cute. I was tripping over someone’s scarf which had fallen on the floor of a store yesterday. I just threw it on a chair, lol.

Been there, tried to track down the owner of something left behind only to find it was the person before that, or even before that. Best to just give it to security or the courtesy desk, i’ve found.

So much effort to return a pair of glasses that did not even belonged to the person! Is there is bigger agenda?

Quite entertaining Keith. I wish that guy had been around when I left my cell-phone at Chili’s at the Seattle Airport when I was on my way to Anchorage Alaska.

Never found it. When I noticed it was gone I rushed back to the restaurant but they said they didn’t find it. My flight was getting ready to leave so I didn’t have time to argue. It was a difficult week to be sure.

Hey, Keith, I see you used the word “guv” in your story. Is it in common use in England now?
I’m formatting a book for a man who grew up in the Midlands circa 1960 and we’re wondering about some idioms and slang. I’ve seen them in books, but are they in common use now? Like “Corker.” He’s never heard it. “Knave! Let’s take a gander. A bird alights…” Were these totally unheard of over there in the 60s to 80s era? If you have a minute I’d appreciate your wisdom here.

Guv is commonly used throughout the Uk when addressing one’s boss, particularly so by the Police. I live on the South coast, so Midlands slang is something I know little about. Here, our slang terms tend to be based on East London and Cockney terminology. Birmingham is the hub of the Midlands, and it’s people are commonly known as Brummies. “Ey up mi duck” is their equivalent of hello! That’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Thanks for that link. For me it’s a quandary; wanting to help him make a book that can be sold anywhere, about teen boys, which means there will be some local dialect slang — which I don’t know.
The name of his city was Rawtenstall, in Rossendale Valley, Lancashire. It’s 17.4 miles from Manchester, according to Wikki.
Cockney dialect probably caught on well, since it’s so colourful. 🙂
