I take it there are none at your workplace because as you say it is important that they speak English from a health and safety point of view but employers ignore this fact for profit.

Like yourself I don't wish to appear pedantic, but prat as a noun has one t, unlike the surname, which generally ends with a double tt.

Prat, see below.

He'll probably come back and say he misspelt it on purpose to see if you'd notice. If you pull him up a second time he'll tell you you've fallen for it again. I reckon Royboy39 is Jambutty's brother.

I wonder if the Polish version will be on sale in Liverpool? There are still a lot of scousers that boycott the Sun, because of what it said about the Liverpool supporters during the tragedy at Bradford in 1985.

It was actually after the Hillsborough tragedy, in Sheffield.
