After my disappointment over ā€œrocket saladā€ as a youngster, Iā€™ve given up trying to be interested in British food-ismsā€¦

I managed a large team British Civil Service team at the start of the Great Austerity Experiment (fail). One thing I noted was that all of the best and brightest civil servants were the first to take voluntary redundancies or to resign (regardless of seniority). Seeing what was happening I left too.

I like to think we have less of a dedicated echo chamber, and more of a room that echoes.

Round and around and around with its own sound, a sound that no one has to hear.

Or at least that may have contributed to the uptake here of eh

Te reo enters the chat... 'eh' is pronounced pretty close to 'nei' and can have a similar meaning in some contexts when used after an opinion (to add a slightly rhetorical emphasis). I think there is a possibility that eh is an anglicised version of nei. maoridictionary.co.nz/search?&keyw...

Depends on the pronunciation: 'eh' to me rhymes with 'day' & indicates a rhetorical question (good pie eh?) and 'aye' should rhyme with 'eye' and is archaic 'yes' (aye-aye captain! or "ayes and noes" in Westminster style parliaments). But I know others say aye/ay = eh www.youtube.com/watch?v=opPf...
