Today I did a civilised thing: I went up to London to go Christmas shopping, and met J for lunch. I ought to have gone last week, but couldn't because of a burglar alarm incident, but as he couldn't have met me if I had gone then, it worked out for the best. We had sashimi and tempura at the Japan centre, which was just lovely. As we paid, I noticed a young Japanese couple at the table next to the till, who seemed to be students over here to learn English, perhaps, as she had a notebook beside her full of notes in Japanese, but with four English words - and presumably their Japanese translations - at the top of the page.
The words were
swine flu
Olympics
banks
McDonalds
Excellent basis for someone visiting London, surely?!
