"Down whit"

Lonewolf, perhaps the eastern sides of London have not fallen into your recent travel plans, but I know areas where if I were to properly say "Down with" I might be met with a quizzical look and a raised eyebrow.

This is in no way a slight against the many hard-working folk we have here who hale from foreign shores and for whom English is a second language. Sadly it is all too often folk who know better and do this on purpose. 😥 Bruv, innit, etc. I'm sure you have heard those annoying utterances.
