Default New Statesman -- phrase-book -- June 28 deadline

Bill Greenwell and Adrian Fry win this week. (John Major does not.)

No 4233
Set by Leonora Casement

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.
Max 15 phrases by 28 June comp@newstatesman.co.uk
