Overheard, on the Top Deck
I am sitting in front of a family: dad, mum, and young daughter. They are Welsh.
Dad: [as the bus passes a school] Look at that school. That’s posh that is.
Girl: What does posh mean?
Dad: It means STRICT.
Mum: Don’t tell her that, Daddy.
Girl: What does strict mean?
Mum: Schools get stricter and stricter as you get older. Right, Daddy?
Dad: Right you are.
Girl: [sings] Dashing through the snow, on a one horse open…
Mum: IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS, ABIGAIL.
[silence]
Dad: Look at that. That man is wearing a HAT.
Time for me to get off the bus. I love Welsh people.Â
That is amazing.
You should record these journeys of yours and put them up on YouTube.
LOL yeah I should…
I’d like to say it’s not typical Welsh behavior but I fear I may be wrong. A personal favourite is when my dad talks slowly and loudly at people when we’re on holiday … in the US. He also performs some strange miming act to explain what he wants … A … LARGE … BEER *wild gesticulation*.
Dew….. you know how lucky you are to have busses…. and hats….. and schools?
Bristol eh?
Flip.
Random lol – Gloucester Road?
You know it
