My week in Undone
May. 29th, 2010 06:50 pmOne a couple of occassions this week, I've had moments that have made me feel like I've slipped through a crack and ended up in Undone. This, for example, strikes me as just the sort of conversation that Edna seems to get into with London Carlo:
| Them: | I think we'll go on holiday to Brittany this year. It's easy. You can take the ferry from Plymouth to somewhere... |
| Me: | [ distractedly ] Roscoff maybe... |
| Them: | I want to see the war cemeteries. [ A short pause ] And the Normandy beaches. |
| Me: | [ baffled ] Um. Well. Yes. Except that Normandy beaches would actually be in Normandy... |
Proof, if it were needed, that the British educational system is the finest in the world...
