I have got used to Australian sportspeople answering any question by beginning with "Yeah,No ...." or "Aw, look ...". I have dismissed this as some form of post-colonial congenital defect. But when did British people start using "So ..." to start off their answers? I have just heard one bloke being asked which welfare benefits would be capped. He said, "So. There are a large range of benefits affected and ......". Another, asked about Australia's chance of winning at Trent Bridge, said "So. There is still quite a lot of batting to come and .....". What will the weather be like this week? "So. We expect winds to turn Westerly on Monday and .....". What's the price of Efes in Calis? "So. It depends what bar you use and .....".
Stop bloody doing it! So there.
