    kin-sella to kinsella

    hard to get my point across without phonetics, but guessing you clever people catch my drift...although I'm sure all true Charlton fans always said kinsella

    Estate agents like to rebrand areas eg. Battersea to South Chelsea, Gravesend to Shorne West.

    I wonder if Charlton is contracting as East Greenwich slowly expands? Or perhaps Curb-It shall soon be living in Blackheath Borders :-)


    PS try googling this, Shorne-West resource

    How about things where a name has been kept for a completely different product?

    Eg. Bovril was made from beef stock, now made from yeast extract

    [cite] Curb_It:[/cite]well then alan green says it correctly. bet it irritated the hell out of mark all you bleeeding kinsellers.

    Oh no doubt alan green says it like that, and that that is the corect way of pronouncing, but i am indeed a proper south east larnderner so kinseller is the way it rolls of me tongue! Indeed poor mark! When people call me allie i freak out!

    Diet coca cola is now "zero".
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    its not, they still do diet coke.
  • SaladSalad
    They are the same, one is marketed at women, one at men.
  • suzisausagesuzisausage
    they taste completely different. i have both in my fridge at work.
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    the one that i think is horrible is that "Coke light" crap - get well peed off when i realise i've picked a can of that up by mistake.
  • suzisausagesuzisausage
    i get annoyed when i pick up one of those coke bottles with vanilla in it. its manky and tastes like cream soda, which is one of the worst things ever invented.
  • SaladSalad
    oh well, I'm wrong then :-) .... but I did read that they were virtually identical, just a minor adjustment to the sweeteners used, the Coca Cola idea being that they reckon the male demographic want a diet coke but they didn't want it with the word 'diet'.

    Perhaps the minor chemical adjustment was to change the taste, or perhaps I am just completely wrong.
