The plod go out looking for drunks at xmas. Other times of year,
detection is left to the safety cameras. I thought that would have
been obvious.

Obvious - but completely wrong.



Check your spelling, bloody useless drunk driver

So, how long have you been trying to use English for, sonny?


That should read:

"So, for how long have you been trying to use English, sonny?"

Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

But in both cases the sentence ends with "sonny".

Cor! You write good, dunnit?

1. "Prepositions are not words to end sentences with." is an example of
irony. In your case, wasted irony.

2. Try to use punctuation correctly: ie "But, in both cases..."

3. Try to understand sentence formation - and for what commas can be used -
got that, sonny? (expl: both sentences end with ", sonny", not just "sonny".

4. And never start a sentence with a conjunction.


Let that be a lesson to you.
