It's a back spelling from should've which many forget is a contraction. "could of" also exists for the same reason.
It's things like this which over time create new languages, at least if populations are cut off from each other for a long enough period.
Sometimes mistakes are due to a lack of reading professionally written works.

I don't recall the exact sentence but I read something akin to this years ago: "I was a shored the package would be there."

That's a very generous explanation of incorrect English usage (although it could be the result of using a speech-to-text app).

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

It's still not available because orcas aren't pink. You can have albino orcas, they could have done that. I don't think they'd do a mermaid with pink skin so why pink animals?

I agree, I never understood those unnatural coloured animals in the late mermaid themes, they could have perfectly normal colours. But well…

I just realised that the orca is back! …… unfortunately in pink ….. (Mermaid theme)

Nevertheless, an odd choice they made, for years it was not available!

Well, considering the colour of the dolphin in the set with the mermaid pastry chef, it looks like it must be the dye in the cake that is causing the sea creatures to turn pink. :-\

I think you might have got that wrong, the pictures on page 4 seem to show three different shop display boxes, all containing the usual bagged figures.

You're right, Graham. Series 29 will be in bags, as usual, not in 'blind' boxes. It was a false rumor I picked up at KW. I'm glad I was wrong!
