I cant believe this has had more useful responses than my thread requesting a tool recommendation.

You totally forgot about 'coming over'!

Over what, exactly?

 

[jellybeard999]

Are you autistic? Stop taking things so literally :/

You totally forgot about 'coming over'!

What an exciting life you have.

Coming up = friday night. Coming down = saturday morning. Or sunday, occasionally. Least, it was when I was younger

 

[sigma]

I'm coming

I think most people just say come down all the time don't they.

I've always lived in the South and I'll say "I'll try and come up to see you time" to relatives in the North, or "I'll be up in XXXX next week" when talking to colleagues in another city.

I typically use "down" when referring to locations that are further south than me and also within the confines of a town i.e. "I'll be down the pub at half eight" even if the pub may not strictly be lower in a geographical sense.

They should shut the Menai Bridge. Then you won't be going anywhere

Thats fine I never use that, I use the Britannia bridge.

My brother lives in Scotland. When he comes to see me he says "I'm coming down on ------- for 2 weeks" when he asks if I wanna go see him he says "You should come up soon"

I guess it's just how you're used to saying it. I say "I'm coming down" no matter where it is.

I'm coming across a body in the woods tonight
