In Roy's cafe, Stu, to Bernie: "Can we get two teas and a strawberry milkshake"
A few years ago, when someone used the same word 'get', Roy said, "No no, I'm the proprietor, I will get them for you."
Is 'get' commonly used in the UK now? It does seem to be an Americanisation that's crept in, replacing "Can I have", or, "Can I order"
Later on, Bernie was telling Paul about her gran dying, talking about psychic happenings: "The night she died, there was an owl..." I was expecting a line about it being a Scottish owl, and the joke 'hoots mon'.
