I know what was and is meant by 'contemporary' - I'm saying it is gramatically incorrect.

Where is fcuking Fleety when you actually want him ?

You're like an RC Fleety.

it has to be contemporary because it exists at the same time as me, is that right? So what happens if I buy a victorian sofa?

It'll have little skirts on the legs so you can't see them.

So if I buy one of those sofas

Living or occurring at the same time; a comparison of time between two things (people or events) indicating that they exist or did exist simultaneously.

nah, contemporary in this context just means "modern".

contemporary thai tat, of course!

One of MonkeyTrading's sections is listed as 'Contemporary'.

Maybe Fleety will contribute his EL prowess here.

Something cannot just be 'contemporary' - it has to be contemporary with something else. Same with 'Contemporary music' - contemporary with what ?

Otherwise for example, it's like saying something is 'akin'.

BTC in pedantic mode.

The only 2 types of shop I see in the UK are Card shops or Mobile Phone shops , everything else is sold by the supermarket or by mail order.

Going down the high street shopping takes so little time as there is nowhere to go unless you want to buy a mobile phone or a card , and I dont shop for clothes with the missus.

Pardon my ignorance MF

Right, my shop in Bracknell closes on Sunday. So all of those who live locally and want a bargain had better get down there pretty quickly as Im selling off lots of Thai Tat at bargain prices.

Problems with the lease on my shop and a subsequent over doubling of my rent in the stroke of a pen plus losing out on a contract due to constraints, means I am looking for new premises and to redo the business model slightly. I will be returning to Windsor shortly - hopefully on the high street.

Hang on, I'll just get me coat
