I suppose your previous neighbours didn't need a plug since they kept
their coal in the bath.

Probably not. The last one probably took it with him.

The new one is using the bath for the first time since moving in.

You need to move out of that area. Did you comply?

As long as they did not have baths in the coal shed all should be well.

This is a pet hate of mine. Being a Londoner, I had never heard this way
of speaking outside of "The Wind in the Willows". It was quite a culture
shock, moving to the Midlands, and having a financial advisor come round
to advise us on how much she could "borrow us". It got even worse when
our lad sometimes uses it.

I was listening to the radio once, and a guy had phoned in with a story
about forgetting his keys. He said he was banging on the door shouting
"loose me in, loose me in". I worked out he meant "let me in" but was
fascinated that it was clearly his first expression - again something I
had never heard in London.

Was it used in the phrase "If I could borrow you some money mate, that would be bostin". That's dialect ;-)

Being a Londoner you won't have heard the use of a consonant until you left
the vile place. Birmingham is associated with a bad accent but Mockney is
worserer.

I used to have a neighbour who knocked on a few times to ask if she could
borrow my chip pan....what kind of mentality is it that thinks, 'I fancy
some chips, I'll just nip out and borrow a chip pan off someone'.
On a related note, my niece lives nearby and her neighbour is a cheeky ****,
she knocked a few months ago and declared that they were having spag bol
that night but she had no mince and asked my neice to borrow her a few
lbs!!!
I might try this myself, I'll go and tell her I'm having steak and chips and
ask has she got any steak and some spuds

The correct English is of course, "lend's a bat' plug", or "giz a bat'
plug".
