    Must stop calling people a cretin ....

    Me in Supermarket to assistant: Do you know where I would find cloves?
    Assistant: We don't sell cloves here
    Me: Are you sure? You must have cloves. They would be in the spices section
    Asst: No you'd have to go to one of our large branches.
    Me (in disbelief) : oh Ok

    Find spices section, get small jar of cloves.

    Angry now, find assistant,: What do you call this then?
    Assistant: Oh I don't know what those are, thought you meant cloves, innit. (Points to my clothes.)

    Penny drops.
    Me, under my breath but loud enough for him to hear: FFS What a cretin.

    Sorry folks it just slipped out.
    Hard Brexit now!

          So Sas must sound like a Wockney Canker - no-one could possibly make that error with my pronunciation.

                it wasn't a pronunciation error, it was a Labour educashun error.
