ok so maybe i thought suarez would come over, get based in a hotel or whatever and then bring them... maybe i foresaw all this innately?

 

Or you're brummie

Actually thought I would pulled up on saying that because it somehow contravenes modern day PS bollox

 

Talking bollocks there.

definition is below so bring is perfectly acceptable use

‘take or go with (someone or something) to a place.’

 

Also feels wrong and dirty to be on mito’s side of this as well… I don’t like it.

can someone bring me back over to the other side

 

I think only one way to settle this @saintKlopp

 

oh sure jump back into the closet there.

can't be doing to be aligning yourself with the proper straight talkers" round this place.

 

FACK off with your brummie ****e. can't stand the place.

Used to work with a lazy arsed brummie who was a regular at villa park and he was a total **** head.

 

I'm not taking sides but Mito isn't wrong.

 

I worked with a lad from Wednesbury and he wasn't the full 100 watts.

 

I think I can speak for saint. He'd 'bring' them if he was already there. He's 'take' them if they were all going together Saint?

 

Not necessarily true. If he was being interviewed in Spain about a move to Birmingham and asked whether his family would join him, he could quite correctly say 'yes I'm going to Birmingham and I will bring my family with me '.

In another context - 'yes I'm going to the party and I will bring the beer'.

 

I suppose so, but a little convoluted.

 

"yes I'm going to Birmingham and I will take my family with me"

Although, I'd say... "yes I'm going to Birmingham and my family will be coming with me"

 

Both are correct.

 

Looking online it seems they are but 'bring' signs wrong to me

 

Computer privileges at the retirement home today I see.

 

Some Irish do that as well.

 

Mods can't tag.
Generally I would use bring if it was to where I am - take if elsewhere. "Please bring me a drink and take one to him over there".
To me, bring does suggest you are in the target place, but I think it's more a convention than a rule.
From Spain to Birmingham is bringing them closer as well, so mito's usage didn't bother me.
I have an Irish friend who would say something like "My car's being repaired, will you bring me to the garage to pick it up". That definitely sounds wrong.

 

If we both did one of those online 'fill in the gap/ complete the sentence' type questionnaires with various forms of to bring or to take e.g 'bring' 'brought' 'took' 'taken', we would both likely get all the same answers and all correct. Sometimes though in practice, we each have a personal way of using the seemingly 'wrong' word.

I'm sure there are people in some parts of the country who will say bringaway instead of takeaway.
