Younger people who watch too much American tv and go into a cafe, takeaway, shop etc and say “can I get……” instead of “can I have…..” If it was ‘get’ you would have to climb over the counter and get it yourself Totally agree! Better still "may I have". (Sorry being very picky) Edited by rob1969 (13 Jul 2024 1.39pm)
