| Diary |
Thought out the middle east and Egypt there has been constant spelling misakes!
Chick point-Check Point
Asswan-Aswan
Gomels-Camels
Sneak Show-Snake Show
Billy Dancing-Belly Dancing
Cheps-Chips
Coff Shop-Coffee Shop
Chad-Shade
Pain (boneless)-we havent worked this out yet
Beep Stek-Beef Steak
Shacspear-Shakespear
Nuba nil hotel-Nuba nile hotel
union soup-onion soup
foul- a breakfast of beans - ful - pronounced fool. Think Ella has already covered this, but I have enjoyed some unusual dishes in Egypt. I’ve chosen from “Beep Stak” “T-Boon Stak” and “Lamp Chop” as well as eating “Foul” (Not really a spelling mistake this one as it is!) Bill Morris would go mad for the “Union Soup” and “Chicken ‘fraid” can be eaten with some “Tost” or “Chaps”. Might I suggest a “Banana Splat” for desert and if you get lost on the way to the restaurant just follow the instructions “El- dahar – FronT OFImPiRE Three CORnERS HOTEL IN THE CORneR” there, couldn’t be clearer (Just happens to be off “Hospital Road” Draw your own conclusions.
Police “Chickpoints” are my favourite. Policeman approaches “Where you from?”
“England” (It saves time explaining the history of the UK)
“Ah good England… David Beckham, Owen etc etc” Counting….”Sex?” “Yes SIX” then back to the beginning “Where you from?” etc All said with a delightful smile.
Actually, the amount of effort the Egyptians put into learning English is amazing, I can’t remember any restaurants in Bath with an Arabic menu and I’m sure they will improve with a little more proof reading.
