They were both would have been good replacements but were not a Sunak or a Johnson. ..
 
I proved Mrs Mottie right again this morning when I told her of my shopping incident yesterday. She's always telling me I don't speak 'proper'. She says I sometimes speak too quickly and mumble. You'd think she would have learned by now - she's often translating my words when her friends look confused when I say anything. Anyway, I digress. I was wearing my proper PP3 mask and I asked the assistant in Sainsbury's where the Bovril was. She couldn't hear me so I lifted my mask and asked again. She led me to the aisle with toilet rolls in them. When I said again, slowly, B O V R I L she apologised and said she though I said 'Bog Roll'. FFS! Mrs Mottie said I don't even pronounce Bovril correctly. She says I pronounce it Bovrul, hence the confusion.

When I travelled through Indonesia I had a Swedish Girlfriend.... she was my translator... her English was far more clear than mine...

Watching the Bill in my Hostel on Bondi with mates from around the world; there was some girl in her best broad cockney accent "Your the bleeding old bill ain't ya" I said "I don't sound like her do I??"

Yes the whole room replied. YES

I met a junior doctor: His name was Rishi... doing his training he wanted to ask me some questions.
All very nice... about ten minutes later he come back with another young man who was a doctor. I asked his name? and it was Boris... it made me laugh.... how many times they get a laugh every day if they follow each other around...

He can get his own MOT. Finished the service and also did discs and pads. Phoned up to book the test in and they told me a couple of hours wait as they were behind with the tests. One tester off isolating as he had been in contact with someone with Covid. All BAMES down that test station so I was a bit wary of going anyway so I said I’ll leave it - I didn’t need telling twice. If Mrs Mottie found out I’d been down there, there would have been big trouble! :rolleyes:
