If like me you're forced to count as one of the 9 million, I suggest, like me you irritate the **** out of the breadknife and daughters picking up on the dialogue blunders..

Two I spotted "Hitting the spot" (The Butler fella after a meal)not the sort of language used 'below stairs' even back in the day when I had a spell 'down there' after leaving school in the late sixties.

Another "Like buses, another will be along in a minute" when was this 1919-20 really another bus in a minute?

Anyone else spot anything else, care to comment?

And or other Downton comments, I know y'all watch it, half of you are roadies and wear lycra ergo you watch crap on telly..

Watched half the first series. Never again. Truly awful programme where nothing happens.

Come on, I know y'all love it really, I mean what could be more satisfying after the weekly Sunday pelleton bore staring into half a dozen sweaty Lycra clad butt cheeks pounding those SPD's down country lanes than to relax in the idyll of former times when the lower orders knew their place. Even though they speak a bit more modern than you might expect.

Parades End is much, much better. An actual storyline and people who can act - Rebecca Hall is brilliant as Sylvia.
