I know it sounds stupid, but I would like Topics much more if they ditched the nuts and put raisins in them instead!

I would prefer Bountys without the coconut.

I would prefer Twix without the biscuit.

Should that be Bounties? GC and I were just debating that and we couldn' work it out

Shhh Smurfy, it sounds like we have nothing better to talk about!

Well if I told them what else we discussed we'd be excommunicated.

Technically, words that end in 'y' and have a consonant before the why are made plural by dropping the 'y' and adding ies so Bounty singular becomes Bounties plural. However, brand names are a bit of an acception.

A similar corruption of spelling rules is where the noun cabby is most often spelt cabbie as if it was plural.

How sad am I?

That's what confused me - the fact it's a brand name. Is it an acception or exception though?

Definitely exception!

oldspice · « **Reply #293 on:** November 19, 2006, 03:56:01 pm »

Yes, definitely an exception! And I don't know where that 'why' slipped in ! It should of course read 'y'. What am I like???

We know what you're like!

I know you can get Topics still, but.....they have stopped putting them in Celebrations !!!! So does it signal the end!

i was in Morissons yesterday and saw Ruffle bars and bought one..it was yummy. Bought it all back.

I am currently loving Reese's Nutrageous..puts any of our English bars to shame. Ours shrink every week, the penny pinching greed merchants. Is nobody going to speak up and tell the companies we want our normal size choclate bars back? I would gladly pay a bit extra.

Lou do your knickers have 'picky' written on them?

loulou · « **Reply #298 on:** November 26, 2006, 04:32:45 pm »

What knickers? Anyway did anyone see Jonathan Ross show where he was showing them knickers that said 'i have chlamydia' written across them?

kevvosa · « **Reply #299 on:** November 26, 2006, 08:05:48 pm »

I've seen enough knickers at Leeds market with things like "babe" and "bitch" written on them. Just goes to show where these chav girls get it from.
