"Take the second exit onto klounz road." |
|
| |
"It's pronounced klou-NEZ, actually." |
|
| |
"I've always called it 'klounz'" |
|
| |
"Yes, but it should be pronounced klou-NEZ. It's from a dialect word meaning 'watermeadow'" |
|
| |
"Oh, hark at Mister bloody Know-All. I've only lived round here most of my life, after all." |

|
| |
"Yes, do we have to make another turn ?" |
|

|
| |
"Errr, well, you were the one they invited ..." |
