  No, HMQ isn't retiring. On Breakfast tv this morning Dr Rosemary Leonard said "these ones". What is these days with people always saying things such as "my one", "her one" or "their one"? It makes me cringe. It's just my, her or their. There's no need for the one. Ugh!

  "It takes.....to know.... ."
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  I agree Terry. My pet hate is "yourself". "You" is perfectly adequate.
