My grandmother never got the hang of the internet, I still chuckle at the memory of her asking if I could help her order something from "Amazon dom cot."
My late m-in law didn't understand the internet, and couldn't understand what an email address was. She complained about how complicated addresses were becoming and how it was impossible to write them down from TV announcements. I wonder how many she actually posted like that!
I'm on a local facebook page and one lovely old guy I know asked for the address to post his photo's for the page. He did have a good laugh about it.
OP reported causing hilarity in the US. I was suggesting why. Regional variations do cause laughter. (And occasionally fisticuffs: soda/pop/coke, trolley/buggy/shopping cart, etc.
Was that the dog, or just me?
Who stepped on a frog?
Whoever smelt it dealt it, or, Whoever denied it supplied it.
Come to think of it, my grandfather had about 100 different puns for farting.
I notice older people in Sheffield when we are up there knock the "s" off the end of years for example "She's 3 year old" "We've bin married 25 year"

My nana often asks me to check something on Googly for her.

A few years ago I phoned my mum to wish her happy Christmas, and I asked in passing if she'd received the email I had sent her.
She said that she hadn't checked her email because she didn't think there would be any deliveries on Christmas Day...

Ah, it is a regional thing? Many guests on The Jeremy Kyle Show talk like that and I thought it could be because they didn't have enough teeth to make the S sound!

My family said "Stranger things have happened at sea" - this has now been confirmed to be true by my son who is in the Navy!
We didn't have a dog when I was growing up, but I did used to think we were going to get one, because dad used to go out some evenings "to see a man about a dog". Sometimes I'd hear him arrive home and it sounded as though he'd had a terrible time.
I don't think he liked dogs at all and they didn't like him, because quite often, the very next day he'd be off out again "for the hair of the dog that bit him".
Yeah my dad is from yorkshire, although lived in Glasgow for 40 year..I do it too, as in lived in my flat for 4 year...like bacon for ham, and mash a brew..hehe..guid influences

That sounds possible. Like 'I went down t'pit at three twenty five past'
Well she probably wasn't paying you a compliment! ;-)
I had an old-fashioned workmate years ago who used to talk about people 'doing a line'
'Their cat jumped over our fence' - when describing a person very loosely related to them.
That is a biblical quote.
We old uns also say stupid things like would've or would have, when everyone knows its would of.:D
