Few oddments from the Blitz that don't seem to have been mentioned (but I could be wrong):

terraced houses, not terrace
roused, not aroused
to the shops, not to shops (unless a Northern accent)
used to be, not had used to be (I think)
and should I quibble that the Royal Air Force were, not was?
and perhaps middle of October 1940, not middle of October of 1940, or perhaps use mid-October 1940
