A2K London gathering - Francis tells his story.

From Francis' photos here, it seems you certainly do have a lot of foreigners over there. Are they mostly English, or do you get lots of other foreigners as well?

Two Belgians decided to go on holiday to the Channel coast. However, having crossed the frontier, they saw a large sign which read:

Pas de Calais

so they turned around and drove home.

The place is crowded with foreigners from all around the world. The game is to find where they come from just looking at them...

Pourquoi ne faut-il pas conter les blagues aux Belges le vendredi?

Pour qu'ils ne risent pas pendant la messe.

I like the old and shop-worn varieties of humor best.

No thanks, but what time is it?

Used to know an elaborate version of that joke, and could repeat it in French . . . alas, it's too many years ago now . . .

England and especially London is a polyglot and poly-everything society nowadays.

My sister-in-law taght in an inner-city school and her class was composed of kids none of whom had English as a first language.

But, i'm just kidding folks, no really . . .

I think it is wonderful that we have in common a language which divides us and makes us mutually incomprehensible . . .

I'd guess at least half of those you see in the photos with blue jeans are not British.

More than half of those sitting under Eros! Laughing

Good photos, Francis

Of Course they're not British. If you look at the fine weather in the photo, you will be able to deduce that all the British are sitting outside a Pub somewhere, frothing pint in hand, and watching all those lovely foreign girls walk past.

My wife is also a teacher. Once she had a class where the easiest pupil name to pronounce was Amabimbola Omalulu. Absolutely true.

Thanks for telling "your side" of the story, Francis. Interesting pictures... I am imagining you taking so many photos while walking along. Very Happy

Peeps probably thought you were from the states.

But where are the embarrassing photos?, that's what I want to know.

Dont tell me that people travelled all that way and didnt get drunk/swim in the fountains/streak through Oxford Street etc.

Come on....where are they?
