7. Some kinds of gin and tonic
8. Prosecco instead of champagne
9. Eating on the Tube
10. Personalised number plates
11. Zoopla and Rightmove
12. Hot tubs
13. The Great British Bake Off
14. Trainers
15. Buying portraits of unknown people
16. Salted caramelComments
1-6 are obvious although 5 should be extended to all TV sets whether mounted or not. Having a TV set is as cormon as muck.
I don’t really understand 7, but it can be extended to all gin and tonic for all I care.
8-15 are also obvious, except
* 13: Leake’s distaste towards the use of “bake” as a noun probably stems from an ignorance of Caribbean culture;
* 14: Black or very dark trainers are fine. It’s white or flashy ones that are common.
As for 16 – She’s wrong about 16!!! Salted caramel is fine!!!
Correction: Leake got all this from William Hanson:
