When did 'tiptoes' suddenly become 'tippytoes', and do people realise how many times they actually say 'like' in a day? Even radio and TV reporters are doing it now (when they're not looking at their phones).

I've worn out shoe leather this week in Jersey, as we deep dive into the circumstances that led to Tuula's murder on that rainy night 60 years ago. Why go one way, when you could have taken a quicker and easier route? Keep an eye out for news of an upcoming podcast and documentary on Tuula
