In the context of pundit speculation on a particular new Albion manager, I am sick of the patronising 'no disrespect, but.....'

Yes, true enough.

Using the same root word I am absolutely fed up of hearing 'As a mark of respect.'

Sorry if this has already been answered in the last year and a half, but it’s because they are named after Hamburg.

Curiously enough I used to really hate the phrase ' it is what it is ' but I actually really now like it and find it applicable to many situations.

The customers always right….

No their feckin not

I think in a lot of cases that one is more figurative than literal.

I once spoke with the boss of America's biggest and most profitable car dealer and he said: "The customer is always right, even if they're wrong." Essentially, if you always do the 'right' thing for your customer base, you'll be a success.

Sometimes used in ridiculous extremes by folk who don't want to know about any issues, ever e.g. man's destruction of the planet or Putin's murderous wars.

"Oh well, it is what it is".:lol:
