A Seemingly Quiet Week!

Filed Under Daily

Someone died at Tesco, a supermarket, yesterday. They had to close the store for few hours. I learned about the news in Lidl, its competitor next door. The staff was talking about it.

Not having class/seminar nor having a hike give me a lot of free time in the next month or so. Time to concentrate on the most important events to come: my exams and a job!

The movie, the Dark Knight, was canceled last Friday and replaced by a Christmas party to which I gave no interest nor attend. I gave two pounds to a homeless dude and he was happy! Funny thing is, after the generous event, I went to buy a Subway sandwich and they were on a “half price deal” so I got my two pounds instantly back! Also I did not have to pay the bus fair yesterday on my way to the city for unknown reasons. I bought a roasted Chinese duck and rice to eat and the Chinese dude still doesn’t understand English! He gave me a take-way menu instead so I paid 50 P less.

I kept on saying cents instead of pence! Here they have funny expressions for money: 1 GBP = 1 Quid, Pence = P! So between friends, it costs 50 QUIDS, and the bus driver will ask for “80 P” and not 80 pence!
