Overheard at Euston Station the other day:
Man: I didn't realise that Chester was so near to Wales
Woman: Yes, a lot of our people go into Wales quite often - there's some good shopping places...
(You know the drill - Mandarin Gert thinks are in italics)
Gert: The beautiful and varied landscape of North Wales summed in one pithy phrase 'there's some good shopping places'
Outside the office this morning. Man takes lid off polystyrene cup, places in gutter. Man pours content of polystyrene cup into drain. Man places empty polystyrene cup in gutter.
Gert: There's a bin just over there, you know... (points to bin ten feet away)
Man: I'm not frigging walking over there. Everyone else does it. Why shouldn't I?
Gert: Would I be justified in killing him right now?
