As above. Batter in chaps.
Theres a whole sub-forum for general pitter patter though?
I mean just talk on that then dont turn simple questions into political issues as most do. Bla bla bla. Im old and im dying. I remember the war etc.
So dis-gruntled old buggers should just keep their big gob shut ? 
I blame the…
Remainers, the Tellytubbies, Jeremy Kyle, US president Jimmy Carter, anyone from Yorkshire, the BBC, anyone who calls it a scone and not a scone, Scunthorpe United and all those who eat Greggs from the wrapper whilst walking down the high street.

You guys don’t know you’re born. Auto gearboxes, power everything, cruise control, air-con, comfy beds - you even have heaters.

I hate it when my gruntle is dissed.

But that’ cant be as bad as having your member deviated.

I am a Dutch translator and I came across the prhase: my gruntle is dissed
Could you please explain what this means?
It’s a play on words. A person can be disgruntled. What the play on words suggests is that in order to be disgruntled a person must first have a gruntle in order to be dissed. It’s a folly, or a simple play on words. This happens obviously in other languages too, in German you can have “warum nichts ?” Which would be answered by “darum nichts ”. A simple play on words.
Hope that helps.

Funnily enough a good few of the current English words using the dis prefix were actually words without the dis prefix in times past. So Gruntled may actually been in use a while ago (think possibly centuries) but have fallen out of use. Whereas the Dis prefixed variation has survived.

I read a lot. Perhaps too much! That’s what you get for messing up the excellent education opportunity I was given but managed to screw up. You spend the rest of your life trying to catch up!
