Page 1 of Chimley pots

Yes you read it correctly. Chimley pots not Chimney pots. I was brought up saying chimley etc. Today I looked on Google & also Googled "Chimley pots". I can`t find out why some say `Chimley`. It seems Charles Dickens referred to them as Chimleys. Yorkshire tales also referres to them as chimleys. I`m sure it`s not going to be a favourite subject on here, but does anyone else say `Chimley` or know why it is now pronounced & spelt Chimney.

The childhood version was always Chimbley.
Which now winds me up nearly as much as hearing an adult say they`re going to Hospickle.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

And don`t get me started on "anythink" and "expresso".

This could become a very long thread.

My current peeve is the misuse of `like` as in "I like, didn`t say anything.", others are "give it me" rather than "give it to me", and "he won me" rather than "he won" or "he beat me".

I do not claim that my use of English is perfect, but some of these abuses do irritate.

apparently the english girl who won gold did so on the skellington, according to my wife

Is that anywhere near Baywater?

I used to say `chinmey`. Until my brother knocked me out.

Ba-dum-tish.
