Does This Make Sense?

[MyBlackHen]

On New Tricks (BBC1) just now----
"and you suspected nothing suspicious?"

[eariyam]

Ha Ha. well spotted

[Tilly2]

'and you suspected nothing?' would suffice.

[MyBlackHen]

Exactly what I thought Tilly.
Or, "you didn't notice anything suspicious?"

[DJHawkes]

was it waterman said that? sounds like him lol

[FredPuli43]

Yes, oddly. It means that there were some things which would arouse suspicion in anybody, and the speaker questions why the other person wasn't even suspicious of those.

[DJHawkes]

i suppose it's the same as asking, 'did you notice anything noticable' but it's still just wrong lol

[MyBlackHen]

I felt it was wrong, I was typing and half listening (as you do) so I can't even say who said it.

My niggle is with Alexander Armstrong in Pointless. When chatting to a contestant about his job or hobby he will ask 'How long have you been doing that FOR?' The for is redundant!
