fancy doing sth
In our English class a student and a teacher are having a discussion about the expression "fancy doing sth". One of them says this phrase is old-fashioned and out-dated. The other says it is still in use. We're learning British English at school. Who is right? Can you help out?.

I am a speaker of British English, and I use it. I told you that in another forum, as did another speaker of British English. The language does not change in a week or so.

Thanks. That's right. I'm trying to reach as many people as possible and I'm glad for anyone else who will confirm your answer.

AnonymousThe other says it is still in use.Though I am an American, I have heard speakers of British English use that expression, even quite recently, so I doubt that it is old-fashioned and out-dated. (Americans do not use the expression, however.)
