“The lizard line” is becoming popular
I sometimes forget which name is the real oneNot railway related, but I like the fact that Newport County fans refer to their ground as 'Dave Parade'...
not 'Rodney Parade'.
Calling Middlesbrough ‘Middlesborough’
That’s right, I don’t understand it either and I’ve asked why many timesAnd yet the football team are colloquially known as Boro, aren't they?
It does make sense though. If you're unfamiliar with the network, "the grey one" conveys the meaning pretty much as well as "the Jubilee line" to those familiar with it, and possibly better to those who aren't.Tourists referring to tube lines by their colour on the map.

Nobody says "Weston Super Mare" because there is no such place. But plenty of people would say "Weston-super-Mare"
That's the media during the strikes. It was referred to as "Northern" until the strikes and then they magically became "Northern Rail" again.I still hear Northern being called "Northern Rail" even though they've not had the franchise for nearly 3 1/2 years.
Are you OK with "Small Town in Yorkshire"?Calling Middlesbrough ‘Middlesborough’

I’m from Newcastle and I know my mum and a lot of her family still refer to ITV as Tyne Tees.It also depends, I think, on how long a previous name was used for. I'm always struck by how many people in the north west of England still refer to ITV as 'Granada'. I don't think anyone refers to ITV as 'Carlton', 'Meridian' or other such short-lived names.
Either is acceptable pronunciation, although Foster would have been how the man himself promounced it. I went out with a Forster many moons ago and the whole family pronounced it as Foster. It's one of those British pronunciation peculiarities that crops up related to surnames.
are alternative views.When I worked in Bradford I was the only member of staff who correctly pronounced Forster Square. All my colleagues mistakenly called it "Foster Square". They thought I was a nutter, I but I knew I was right!
I see this with cards. People specifically (and some take a fair amount of time to do so) turn their card so the chip points to the machine. Perhaps they are unaware it doesn't matter which way you hold your card.
It's like Bury. Some people pronounce it 'Berry' whilst others pronounce it 'Burry'.
I've got another name for it though... 8 letters begining with s and ending in e
Interesting.There's a recent fashion for cards made out of metal rather than plastic
I've had a quick Google and can see only two:Interesting.
Do you know which banks have adopted this?
No, you're right. You can get a Metal card on Revolut as one of their premium options with added extras like an airport lounge access and limited travel insurance, it's £12.99 per month.
- N26, who're a "challenger bank" like Monzo and Revolut. I did think one or both of them also did metal cards but it looks like I was confused with this one.
