A Dinner with Colleagues
Tom has invited some prospective business col-
leagues to dinner. At first he and Lyn had planned
on having dinner at home,
but on second thoughts
they decided to go to a
restaurant. The last time
they organized a dinner,
everything went wrong.
The oven broke down
and the meat was not
cooked properly, and
Tom spilled coffee over
one of the guests.

Lyn: I've justfound out that I'm getting a pay rise
next month.
Tom: Good. What haveyou
done to deserve that?
Lyn: Just my usual work.
It's nice to see that
I'm appreciated by

Tom: That sounds like
you 're criticizing me
for not appreciating
you enough.
Lyn: I wouldn 't do that, ~
would I?
The Police
The English P.C. or police constable can easily be
recognized by his high black helmet and his baton
swinging from his belt. The English police were reor-
ganized in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel who later became
Prime Minister. The policemen in England have a
nickname which is derived from the above mentioned
Robert Peel.
What are the English police more commonly called?

At the Tailor's
The zip on Tom's jacket cannot be closed. Every time
he zips up his jacket, it opens up again. As it is one of
his favourite jackets he
takes it to a tailor. The
tailor is very busy and
tells Tom that he probably
won't have time to repair
the jacket before next
week. Tom has no alter-
native and says that he
will phone up next
Monday to see if it is
ready.

In the Theatre
Lyn: It's nice to be in the theatre again. We used to

find the time.
You're probably
right. But let's just

ance tonight.

tell him the good news,
but he seemed more in-
terested in getting back
to sleep again.

A Cold
Tom has a bad cold. He has been to the chemist's to
get some vitamin C tablets, but they haven't had
much effect. He is feeling •
so miserable that he plans -
to make himself a hot
~
toddy and go to bed early.
Lyn says that she is going
to call the doctor to come
round and see him if he is
not better the next day.
A Storm
Tom: That was some storm last night. I went out to
Lyn:
Tom: see ifany damage had been done to the house.
Lyn: Did something
happen?
There are one or
two rooftiles
missing at the
back.
We'd better phone
a roofer to replace
the tiles before rain
gets in and causes
more damage.

A Stone
This stone is to be found under the throne in West-
minster Abbey, London. It is said to have served
Jacob as a pillow, when he dreamed of angels in
Bethel. In 844 AD. the king of the Picts brought the
stone to Scone, the Celtic capital in those days. In 927,
Edward the Confessor brought the stone to London
where it has been to this day, apart from a short period
in 1950, when it was "stolen" by Scottish Nationalists.
What is the name ofthis stone which is also called
Jacob's stone?

New Tyres
Lyn: I was stopped by the police today and they told
Tom:
Lyn: me I could get a large fine ifI didn't have
the tyres replaced
immediately.
That was nice of

I told them I don't
have a clue about
cars and that my
husband is respon-
siblefor seeing that
everything is in order.

ed, and is traditionally eaten with mashed potatoes

A Concert
Lyn and a friend are attending a concert of classical
music. Before the conductor enters the stage, the
orchestra spends a long
time, tuning their instru-
ments. When the conduc-
tor does eventually arrive
on stage, he shakes hands
with the first violinist and
then raises his baton to
show that he is ready.

Lyn: I find it strange that cards for 21st birthdays
Tom: still have a big key on them.
Lyn: 21- key ofthe door.
Yes, but now you

I'm sure most

well before they
are 18 or 21.

Christmas Eve
In Britain, people do not exchange presents on
Christmas Eve as in Germany. Quite often people go
to their local pub and have
a good time with their
friends. For those who
stay at home there are
many things to prepare for
the meal on Christmas
Day. Children hang up
their stockings, expecting
them to be filled with
presents when they wake
up the next morning.

In the Cinema
A new cinema has opened near Jill and Sean's house.
They haven't been to the cinema in a long time, and
thought about going to see
a film which had been
advertised on television.
When they enter the
cinema they are amazed
at the luxurious sur-
roundings. After the film
they have a cocktail in
one of the three cocktail
bars in the building.

At the Hairdresser's
Jill is at the hairdresser's, having her hair washed and
styled. It is usually quite a relaxing experience, but
today the woman in the
chair next to her wants to
tell Jill her life's story.
Jill politely answers yes
and no without really
listening too closely to
what the woman is saying.
She is glad when she gets
the hairdryer on and
doesn't have to listen to
her at all.
