It also amazes me on a daily basis that those people who profess to run the country speak the most dreadful English, the commonest mistake being the amount of people or cars when attempting to quantify numbers, it is NUMBERS, and fewer not less. Amounts are reserved for weight. </p> <p>I believed that they had been brung up proper and were taught what to speak like!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6003#post-64213 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:55:21 +0000 alibali 64213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Less than half!</em></p> <p>Indeed.
