Disgusting! Couldn't be like it.

Its sarcasm. Or maybe Irony - possibly both.

 

[Rabbie]

"Couldn't be like it." is not normal English. "Couldn't be like that" would be better.

 

[Brianwarnock]

But where is the subject noun or pronoun? This is Col remember MR perfect English.

One couldn't be like it.

How's that?

I do still like Cols original though - with emphasis on the BE.

Its sarcasm purity.

The subject noun or pronoun has also been banned in 13 countries. But very different ones.

I was using sarcasm as was pointed out earlier. (As you well know)
My English is not perfect, but I do like to help people who's first language is not English - like Americans for example, or people from the North UK.

Incidentally Bri, there's a programme on tonight about the North / South divide in the UK. Should be interesting to see how people actually manage in the North. I can't imagine what it must be like in those back-to-back two up two down houses.

Oh, I found out today our cleaner isn't in next week - bit of a sod really, might need to give her the push and get a Philippino in. Anyone know how to operate a hoover? I think ours is called Henry.
