Why do you have to be so awkward and obstinate, the marketing guys spent forever and came up with a sexy, mysterious and exotic name and can you use it?
No of course not, let's just all be Victor Meldrew eh..

I ordered an Americano in Italy, thinking it would be a coffee with a bit of milk/cream and one sugar.

The EPL. Oh do fuck off, it's the Premier league.

The Yanks make me mad saying EPL, EFL Cup and UCL cup.
It's the Premier League, League Cup and Champions League

“Ringway“ all though a bit slow (in my head it’s still “Ringway”) Manchester

The old country boundary changes post codes . EG St Helens Lancs, it’s not Merseyside
Droylsden is no where near Tameside it’s Manchester.
I’m not a total weapon because we will put the Postcode on the bottom of the Xmas cards.
The old telephone numbers and all the new Cities just why keep changing everything??
I like the dark ages
