    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
