Tomorrow is my first Genki English presentation in the UK, and it’s quite strange to be in “travel mode” here as I haven’t the foggiest idea about anything. I know the trains will be late, but how late to expect them to be? Free WiFi and power was a nice thing, but I was quite surprised on the Newcastle subway that no one bought any tickets. And just how noisy everyone on the trains is! I tell you I have no consciousness of being “English” at all.
Anyway this evening was very nice with a gorgeous dinner in a wonderful railway cottage in the middle of nowhere. It was very nice chatting to very clever people about amazing stuff, like how one of them was invited to Google over the Summer!
Is that station in England??? Wow it looks so clean and new. Delayed trains, I know what you mean. It used to be impossible to use public transport in the Uk, Is it still the same??
Foggiest idea, my that is a very northern phrase!! We found that English people seemed so loud on our last visit!! Mind you we do love to have a good old chat, us british!!
What are you doing in the UK?
Yeah, it’s Newcastle Station. It was actually quite clean come to think of it!
You’ll see why I’m here tomorrow. 😉
Didn’t realise that “foggiest” was a northern expression as I use it myself, probably because I’m a northerner too, just the other side from Richard.
When I go back to the UK I can’t get over how you seem to be eavesdropping on everybody without even trying, so perhaps they are noisier, I just put it down to it being my mother tongue.
The station appears quite empty was it the middle of the night?
4:30 on a Monday evening!
haha, I’ve never thought of “foggiest” as being from anywhere. I’ve heard it all the time in the US.
