"Like" wasn't included to baffle, nor was it included randomly. It's part of my speech pattern and I choose an informal tone online as the more formal style can seem dry.
But sure, I will absolutely change the way I type out my thoughts for you, Mr anonymous Brighton fan on the internet, that's absolutely something I'll bother my arse to do. I wonder, do you also spend your time trying to police the use of capitals and correcting the grammar of total strangers?
It was said in jest. I thought you'd get that from the 'Sussex As She Wus Spoke' ending. However, if you want to be understood in modern Sussex, you don't have to get rid of the superfluous 'like', just put it elsewhere in the sentence. My teenage daughter sends me text messages saying she needs picking up at 'Like 8 O'clock.'
