We came back to the apartment for a fry-up of our leftovers from Golden Mountain -- dee-lish -- and we're now planning our evening. Three random facts we exchanged while doing so that might be of interest:
- The emergency phone number here is 999;
- Clinics are called surgeries here -- and that's a valid definition in the dictionary, believe it or not -- which makes for funny names like Crescent Bakery Surgery (no joke!);
- The ingredients list for Maynards Wine Gums includes stinging nettles! Cripes, I didn't even eat those as a kid, and I ate some bizarre stuff from lawns and fields in my day.
Surgeries? I knew that! I believe, if my British fiction memories serve, that's what politicians call their access time for constituents.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, on the home front!!
Show-off! Yes, I believe there's even something called political surgeries.
