“Despite the poor grammar, would any kit from Texas say Me and my mum?”

Actually, it’s not. It’s the Queen’s language. As an ex-Canadian who grew up and learned to spell “honor” with “honour”. BTW, the Daily Mail is a British tabloid and they were speaking to their audiences, not precisely American.

It is poor grammar in either dialect. It should have been “my Mum and I”. My teacher always said that when referring to yourself and another person in the same breath it is a basic courtesy to put the other person first.
