The all new disastrous long weekend away for the Nicks thread
« on: July 28, 2009, 06:55:23 PM »
 Banghead Banghead Banghead

Mrs Nick summons me unto the computer.

'What do you think we have a long weekend away here? ' Shows image of 4* 15th century coaching inn in rural location.

When?

'In a couple of weeks.'

OK

We book. Pricey. Job done.

Then I hear her on the phone.  rubschin:

Turns out this is so we can attend a Welsh Latin American Festival. Every fooking Paul Simon playing Peruvian band in the world will be there, along with white rastafarians, people in caravans, people with dogs on strings, people stinking of patchouli oil and dressed in home made clothing and - the highlight - an ALL DAY FOOKING SEMINAR with the Bolivian ambassador.

She has stitched me up!!  Banghead Banghead

I shall wear a suit at all times, I have decided. I can feel my buried Thatcherite alter ego rising up  eveilgrin:

There are a lot of Welsh Peruvians I understand. Something to do with mining in days long gone. Welsh communities emigrated to Peru and we got Paddington Bear and those b@st@rd flute players on Oxford Street.

I think I'd be tempted to ask if they have any rooms to let.

I recall reading somewhere (Gerald Durrell / Bill Bryson ?) that there is a community in Peru where Welsh is still spoken.
