They're trying to spot the guy who is singing out of key. They have been told he is wearing a red top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Why do folk say they are ON the bus/train? Surely you're in the bus/train. No one says "I'm on the car". The English language is mental. Not mental at all...On when you have to go up (stairs, steps etc) to enter and in when you go down.On a bike, in a car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English language is mental. They say in the bus or train in Spain, though confusingly it sounds like on. "en el autobús" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone put a sign/menu on here a while back that clearly said "Roll on Sausage". I know it doesn't bear thinking about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, there are some people here who thinks it's acceptable... http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9579&start=60 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
