'Back in the day' is another one that grates with me. What day ??

Anyway, back in the day when everything sold in big shops had a price ending in 99p, I hated being told by the assistant,    "... and there's your one pence change." One pence !!! Arghhh. It's one PENNY ya moron, pence is plural !!!

One that I also hate. Absolutely meaningless. How far back? Which day? Why not just say some years ago? Or actually say what timeline you are talking about.

And on at least 4 times a season when I gave no satisfactory reply to their previous interrogations.

WHAT SCHOOL DID YOU GO TO DRIVER ?
