Pedants' Paradise

Danke, bitte; grazie, prego; merci, je t'en prie; gracias, de nada &c ...

I told a new twentyish member of the waiting staff at my local cafe that I had appreciated her responses to my 'thank yous' being 'You're welcome', rather than 'No worries', and added 'Just a personal thing'. Straightaway she responded 'I get it'. I felt a genuine communication had just occurred.

And that kind of womenswear light jackety thing was called a 'bollero', spelled bolero I think, wasn't it? Before Torvill and Dean days. Or is it called a bə-LAY-ro in Shepherd's Bush?

... for the jacket, wiki has -
"A bolero jacket or bolero (pronounced /ˈbɒləroʊ/ or /bəˈlɛəroʊ/ in British English and /bəˈlɛəroʊ/ in American English)^[2] is a more formal garment of similar construction but made of stiffer fabric, essentially a short tailored jacket, inspired by the matador's chaquetilla. Like the shrug, the sides of the bolero only meet at one point."

"oh yeah, it's that, um, Bollero, innit... played by that geezer, what's 'is name? Ravle".

... and in the Market when you were old enough you would say Wham, Bang, Thank You Ma'am

My favourite "vignette moment" of Shepherds Bush market was at the time of Torvill and Dean's ice ring spectacular, when a BBC reporter went around the stalls playing a tape of "Bolero", asking the public if anyone recognised the music and could name it. One stall holder said, "oh yeah, it's that, um, Bollero, innit... played by that geezer, what's 'is name? Ravle".

... o, we're much more formal in Shepherd's Bush. It's "Thank you, driver" here
