today it was a lovely day in Bournemouth - it was very warm and sunny (yes, as an authentic 'fake-Briton' I have to comment on the weather first! ;-) ).
The English people have a good sense of humour.
Our teacher here told us that the French call the English People "Roast Beef" and that the German call them "Island Monkeys" (that's true, we do call them like that but in a loving way! ;-) ). But the English obviously do not really care about it. I like them.
Besides, our teacher made another confession: he told us that the English "like to confuse people" ("I don't know why, we just do! Yes, we like to confuse people. Maybe it's because you criticise our food! We drive on the other side and so on...").
But it's true.
On my way to school I passed a road sign and an umbrella was hanging down from it - upside down. Yes, I know, an umbrella is definitely a must-have when you live here, on this wonderful island, but there is no need for a road sign to be decorated with an umbrella - especially not upside down. It could confuse car drivers. By the time I went home from school it was gone.
Today, a girl I learned to know at school and I went down to the beach and had a cup of tea (and a cup of coffee). I have to confess that it was only half past four when we drank our tea, but true to the motto "Somewhere it is always five o'clock" we enjoyed ourselves very much. :-)
(five o' clock tea - more or less)
