"The word is comeuppance, not up-commence! "
Gotcha.
The UK used to have temproary road signs by temproary traffic lights that said "Wait While Red Light Shows"
Which means exactly what it says............... In London.
But in Barnsley it means wait until. You can argue who is right, but London is still wrong - for ingnoring the rest of the country.
