Thank you, Manfred. I've heard this phrase before.
You are right, let's wait for the experts...
May I add a little thing? I've always told to my little children (4-8 years) sentences like this:
I have a cat. I don't have a brother. - for example
But now the teacher is teaching them to use 'have got' . I am just their unskilled teacher for extra lessons or the kindergarden.
At least they are clever enough to accept different ways to express, but at first they were upset.
read you later
