Things you refuse to call by their new name

[Blue Mist]

Histo
History & Heritage? I have none regarding the borough of Trafford.

I was meaning the NHS, Government Inc. Local. Trafford General is just swallowing up something we should be so proud of. The FIRST NHS hospital.

Not a new name thing, but I refuse to say skinny when ordering a coffee with skimmed milk.
Just being petty I suppose.
I say "skimmed milk latte please", they say "skinny latte yeah" and I say "yeah skimmed milk latte mate"

I refuse to say Americano. Its a black coffee end of.

I'm the same. Just for some reason hate the name Czechia and never use it. None of my Czech friends use it either, though perhaps the younger generations do.

Your Czech mate?

No no no, Park Hospital was the very first NHS hospital in the UK. It looked after me many times as kid when I split my head open.
It's now Trafford General Hospital. Talk about forgetting your history and heritage.

Didn't it become Davyhulme Hospital in between Park and Trafford?

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 miserable **** was beside himself when I asked for some milk.

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

 

[Barcon]

I thought Yanks called them rest rooms

Restroom, bathroom, washroom.

Morrissey was born there. Deffo needs a blue plaque

Maxwell house??

I'd agree if you are on about the coffee. @Blue Mist wants to keep stuff as named by the nethandorals 100000 years BC

Fries.
Knott Mill Station

“Ringway“ all though a bit slow (in my head it’s still “Ringway”) Manchester
“Strarngeways” That one will alway’s be Strangeways

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

Not surprised considering you specifically asked for a black coffee! Latte is what you meant to order.
