FWIW, I can see where confusion might arise. For instances where "they" refers to Sam (definite usage?), ...
That is propa English as far as I'm concerned!
I'd even say:
I spoke to Sam and they said they were* coming over later
So if you all just speak this horrid north London dialect, all these problems will simply go away, innit?
Note I wouldn't use 'was' which means I must have the middle class version of my horrid north London dialect... um, isn't it?
