TBH i doubt she is being paid peanuts. It was said she got paid 100,000 for the last series and i am guessing she will be getting the same amount this time. Maybe she doesnt get 100k exactly but it will be around that amount since she is a celebrity.

It is shocking though that she gets more than Craig and Len.

He should count himself lucky - Craig's stuck on sausages.

So, in other words, you don't have a clue how much she earns and you're making up a nice round figure off the top of your head.

Glad we cleared that one up then.

Of course not but that doesn't stop Paace repeating LazyTabloid Rubbish whenever she can.

I'm going to count Len's grammatical gaffes this Saturday...

May I refer you to this thread...

Mind you, at least Alesha doesn't make up random words, like The Apprentices....


Well, that single thread is a year old.
Alesha grammar threads last two weeks, then spawn three new ones

It's like they was multiplying!

Does anyone remember "fierce"?

Apparently that was last year's bugbear, wordage-wise.

NO.

Obviously i can't say how much she earns as that is between herself and the BBC, BUT it was said that she earns 100k by newspapers including The Guardian. (Not me making up nice round figuers)

That may be a lie of course, but it doesnt take a genius to work out that she will be very well paid.

No need to get rude.

Case solved! If it was The Guardian, it was a spelling mistake!

From here:

In other words, the judges get paid the same amount.

Which, in Bruno's case, is about £91,000 too much.


In this thread, there's always a need to get rude.

Half of the people in South Yorkshire and the North Midland counties say "I were" instead of "I was" in their dialect, so the same as Alesha the opposite way round. I think Romus is right, it's anti-London prejudice - which I actually share but not concerning the way they speak.

I hereby nominate Alesha for martyrdom to the cause of the english vernacular. Me first with the swan vestas and zippo firelighters.

(p.s. is there anything health & safety against from burning toxic weaves at the stake?)

Now Giblet John, I happen to know a lot of intelligent and very nice people who work on checkouts in supermarkets

I don't like to hear you was & we was . It jarrs if people don't use it in your area. I used to live somewhere where they said I aren't instead of I'm not. I think if a judge used that term SCD people would complain.

And maybe something you say jars on them .Just a thought . We all have accents , be they regional .foreign, posh , false , put on etc .And unless we all stay cocooned in our own region its something we should all embrace and accept .In my humble opinion .
For example most Irish will say " I am only after cleaning that floor . " Meaning " I have just cleaned the floor " It is a direct translation from the old Gaeilge and maybe jars on some who hear it first . But its the way we speak and the way we are and others have other little quirks for various reasons .


*said in a south County Dublin accent *

I went on a date with an Irish girl once, and at the end she asked me if I could "leave her home".

I didn't know what the hell she meant at the time. "Leave" her home? Did she mean "Leave her alone to go home", or what?

Of course, had I the attitude of some posters on this forum, I would have immediately savaged her for her evil abuse of the English language.

That's a very common one!
The first time I (an Irish girl) said this to an English bloke, I got a completely blank stare!

Ummm........DJ............Have we met?

Not unless you married me. Which, presumably, you'd remember.

Well ?Come on , whats the story , ? Did you leave her home ? And was it grand ?

That was back in the 90s, when I was young(er) and wild(er).

I'm now old and boring.

Maybe it does. Somethings will some won't. IMHO The examples you give don't. I rather like it.

Personally, I tend to like the quirks of language from regional areas. I don't like you was though but have noticed it is more and more frequently these days. So there will perhaps be a time when I/we don't notice it any more.

It was in the Mail. She gets paid £100k for every brain cell she has.

And at that point, I usually stop reading.
