London teen orders 'cab, innit'

[poacher]

A 19-year-old Saaarf London girl has been advised to use the Queen's English on the phone after her hunt for a cab to whisk her to Bristol airport ended less than satisfactorily.

According to the Daily Mail, the unnamed teen rang directory enquiries two weeks ago and initially requested a number for a "Joe Baxi" firm. The nonplussed operator told her she couldn't find anyone by that name, to which the lass replied: “It ain’t a person, it’s a cab, innit.”

On my hols last year a burly scotsman was heard to ask for a "pint of lager " in a broad accent. After repeating it to the waiter several times he was presented with a "pina colada". He was a little upset at the time but didn't argue with the waiter. When his friends turned up a little later he was heard to tell them that he fancied trying something different!!!

lol. I truly fear for the future!

One that I constantly hear and believe to be wrong is using "done" instead of "did". Am I wrong in thinking this?
