Not for me, Clive

Popularised by football co-commentator Andy Townsend, this is essentially an alternative way of saying “I don’t think so”.

The two main benefits are:
- it seemingly absolves you of any responsibility to say how you arrived at your decision
- it implies that whatever you’re judging is a load of nonsense that doesn't deserve further comment

Particularly useful when talking about a new-fangled, modern idea you can’t really get your head around.
“A cafe that only serves cereal? Not for me, Clive.”
