BF>> noun {U} UK OLD-FASHIONED INFORMAL

 BF>> a very long time, usually a number of years:

 DD> New Zealand English is very UKian English...

   They would, wouldn't they, that old member of the Commonwealth. But now

 BF>> - How is Gareth? I haven't seen him for yonks!

 DD> He is well, although I have not seen of him in some time either.

   Glad to hear that. I was getting kinda worried.
