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.
