      Ohhh Mr Pedant...

      The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage says that it’s a style choice, and that “It is I” is a formal style and “It is me” is a more casual style. In fact, most people who write about language agree that unless you're answering the phone for the English department at the University of Chicago or responding to a Supreme Court judge, “That's me” is an acceptable answer (2, 3, 4, 5).

        You need a full stop after 'chuffer'.

        Also, we are talking about a different construction when you use 'there is me' rather than 'it is me'.
