Is “spring and fall” actually a set phrase or not? My actual not to pick was that “fall” only refers to the early part of the season, I just wanted to get a little more of the quote.
Comment on Oh, right...

Yeah if someone says “fall” in the UK it’s an instant outer that the person speaking is either American or has spent a very long time there

i mean it might just be very very recent, considering how global american media is it’s not surprising that younger brits would start treating the words as interchangeable.
