not had much to say today, but one thing I wanted to record yesterday (but didn’t) was this:
announcement heard on train on way to work:
“The next station will be Barnham.
Customers for sunny Bognor Regis should change at Barnham.
Customers for …. [insert long thoughtful pause here] …Littlehampton should also change at Barnham.”
Customers for sunny Bognor Regis should change at Barnham.
Customers for …. [insert long thoughtful pause here] …Littlehampton should also change at Barnham.”
Littlehampton – a place for which there is no suitable adjective. Unless you can come up with one.
