I'll start with 'early doors'. I am not 100% sure this is wrong, but it may have resulted from an ex footballer/presenter saying EARLY DOORS instead of EARLY DAYS.
Can you think of any?

Sorry - but doesn't 12 months = 1 year; just as 3 feet = a yard? Aren't these people justified in using 12 month(s)? Just a thought like.Originally Posted by The Alien wrote on Wed, 18 February 2015 19:24
