Out for a late lunch,and just ordered a couple of drinks

Bar person asks for £5.37

The correct response is surely how 'kin' much?

Should've gone to Wetherspoons.

One of the hidden reasons for saying “Sorry, I don’t have anything smaller” when handing over a large note is to reinforce that it is (say) a 20, and you expect change of a 20 and not a 10....

Don't you just say "there's twenty and <whatever-pence>"?

Saying sorry doesn't hurt you

Bloody does when I give you a slap for being insincere!

Someone is blocking the supermarket aisle and it's 100% their fault, but we still say "sorry can I just squeeze through?".

Excessive thanks is also a problem. I've held a (slow-closing) door open for someone, and they said "thank you, cheers, ta"

Just say, 'Sorry, would you mind repeating that'

Reading thru' this thread this morning, I suddenly realised I'd muttered 'sorry Cassie', as the dog jumped, having sat down at the edge of the tray, which caused the bowl to slide down and bump her in the bum. Not my bowl, not my tray, not my sit. Nothing to do with me a tall a tall.
