Specifically a retired gentleman the other day giving the cashier his opinion on immigrants. Or rather what the Daily Mail has told him is his opinion on immigrants.

Hephaestus Aug 2015 11:31am, 12 Aug 2015 21 posts	Quote Pin Hephaestus re. the 'the' thread. I find it annoying when, for example, traffic reporters or radio dj's add a 'the' as in "There's an accident on the Oxford Road' or a 'hold up on the Mauldeth Road'.

The responses certainly seemed well thought out and reasonable to me. Crying here and resorting to name calling because you didn't like them is a bit childish.
