I should be a grammar expert having fairly recently got a BA(Hons) and MA in Literature and having had to almost memorise 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' but away from academia I write in my own style, Oxford commas be blowed <laugh>

so would you "take" people somewhere or bring them with you?

As a philosophical question..... one implies control the other implies leadership for me.

Bring and Take are very much linked to Come and Go, so 'I'm coming and I will bring......' and 'I'm going and I will take'. They are also linked with 'towards' and 'away'.

However, there are times when they are interchangeable. 'He brings his bag to work every day' - emphasising movement in the direction of the destination. 'He takes his bag to work every day' - emphasising movement away from the starting point. It depends on whether the speaker sees it as the bag being taken away from home or the bag being brought to the workplace. Both are correct. So your 'bring' and Zanjinho's 'take' are different perspectives based on your personal point of view.

Couldn't get Carling back then. Even the lager there was ****ing hideous. Tended to drink cider, which I now also loathe.

I always thought lager was desperate. I believe it's better these days, but I've never really got my head around the idea of cold beer unless you live in a hot climate.

Roughly what I said yesterday.

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.

Hmm so you are saying that z is right that suarez wife would feel like she was being taken away from the good life in Spain.

And given I think no-one should welcome being stuck in Birmingham I should in fact apologise to the baldy so and so :)

Instead of saying you're both right I will say neither of you are wrong :)
