Dyserth Tuesday Morning Group

'Like' it or not

Those quotes around 'Like' in my title are quite intentional. I am probably too old to appreciate changing language and more likely to complain. I see American influence corrupting our language as it has done for many years. Cafes and some eating establishments are calling themselves 'diners', which to me means a person sitting at a table eating! The most recent of my irritations is the inclusion of the word 'like' into almost every sentence issued. "I was like mad about way he sort of like said everything like". I better stop this rant because I am beginning to detest the word like. Is it something to do with the web? OK rant over.

The summer is formally over and when folks re-join us after the summer break, that is when we usually give them the future programme cover every Tuesday between October and March.
