i am in the US (northern california), but intentionally come only to the UK answers site because i love interracting with everyone here. i hope to move to the UK in a few years, but that's really beside the point.
the point is...since being on here, i have seen the term 'knob" used many many times...
and the other day i was in a grocery store called "raley's". well, they have a sister store called "nob hill" in the san francisco area -- named after a tourist area by the same name.
so i'm standing in the checkout line, with my son, and i see the store magazine (which offers recipe ideas and such) and it says "Raley's and Nob Hill" and i just burst out laughing.
and of course my son is like "what...what...? what's so funny?"
i wanted to share that with you, because i knew you could probably appreciate it like i did.

Don't you use the term 'knob' for knob heads over there then???
What do you call them instead???
It does have to be said that 'knob' is a pretty good word!!! Not too harsh, but good enough to do the job!!!!
(Nob Hill - what an odd name for a grocery store!!! Reminds me of 'Fanny packs' lol!!!! )
