The Cat	What made me cringe on TV was when a game show host told a contestant "And you also get a consolation prize as well." Eeek!
Anthony	Al wrote: "If your child normally comes home at the normal time, you can expect them a little earlier than normal today." Interestingly, there's nothing wrong with that sentence grammatically, though it is disastrous from a stylistic point of view, I agree!
Mart	Love it! "Yer know yer kid like? They might be a bit home early `cos there some snow about." Oddly enough, certain Radio 1 guys could have said just that.
Al	quote from a NE BBC reporter during last week's snow. "If your child normally comes home at the normal time, you can expect them a little earlier than normal today." My old English teacher would have gone nuts.
