This week we would like entries from a (bad) English phrase-book for foreign tourists visiting well-known tourist destinations in Britain. Back in the 1950s, a similar comp elicited the following for visitors to the Royal Academy: “I have lost my husband (wife) in the Sculpture Hall. I think he (she) is studying a Nymph (Satyr).” And for those braving a summer break in a holiday camp: “Ho ho, you are merry ones to fling me with my bed into the pool, ho ho!”. The locations are up to you.
