Draw/s instead of drawer/s. Drives me nuts, again, seems to be several million people

This annoys me too F. Saw an add on Ebay once for 'Chester draws' as opposed to a chest of drawers. (under furniture for sale as opposed to lingerie/underwear) :)

Something that seems to be particular to Cornwall; "I have an ideal". When they actually mean "I have an idea"

That's West Country accent. They eat potatles, drive Astrals and have ideals. They put an l on the end of every word that ends in a vowel. Common from Bristol downwards. I think it's lovely.

Obviously it doesn't reach Cornwall then m'dear :)

Very common in the area of Bristol and the counties just below it. I used to love hearing it, and I always called my Bristol car my Astral.

I'm somerset and don't recognise it either, I wonder if it just isn't coming across letters wise because to me it would just be how people speak ;).
 
I think it's cute how in Cornwall people call you "my lover". In Aberdeen, often a "y" is added to the end of words - i remember i had a manager from Aberdeen who phoned me & asked if i'd mind coming to the stationary cupboard & doing a "wee jobby" for her!!!!!

Yeah I think it's a Bristol thing. My grandma's from Bristol and she does it.
