For goodness' sake.

I love to see small businesses doing well, but I really hope that site fails. What an abomination.

Of course it is not called "the 'diff". My wife studied in Cardiff (rather than growing up there) and she doesn't recognise it either. She does call Caroline Street "chippy lane" which is obviously unacceptable, but i think we'd get divorced if she said "the 'diff".

I do think that both are different to "can I get", though. There are lots of examples of people twisting/americanising the English language, but they are different (and less offensive) than strangers renaming parts of our city for no good reason and with no basis.

The guy who owns this company is a customer of mine .He is a top man , so diff is fine with me.

The Diff is in the back axle of rear wheel drive vehicles and balances the drive to each wheel as the car goes round a corner otherwise the car would try and drive through the corner and scrubb the tyres out .
