Sat

I want to know whether BE people use "was sat" here or not. I know that "sitting" is the correct usage, but I don't know "sat" is ungrammatical or not.

The man sat next to him last night never said a word.

The sentence is incorrect. You need to add a relative pronoun: The man who/that sat next to him... CB
