Episode 95 – The Strange Laws of Britain 👨⚖️
Martin Johnston Johnston 
Did you know it’s illegal to drunk in a pub in Britain?! 😲 Find out lots of other strange laws that we have PLUS there is a DIFFERENT opinion about The Royal Family from Clarification Charlie (finally you will hear the other side of the royal story!) 👑, talk of different types of POO 💩 and lots of RnR vocab – so basically it’s just another episode of RnR English – keeeeeeeep on ROCKin’ baby! 💣💣💣
The RnR vocab that you will learn in today’s show:
It would be a strongly worded letter
I was pissed off
We’re stuck in a rut for reviews
Don’t worry, I’ve got your back
Rush hour I think is the technical term… the penny has dropped!
Not a single fucker gave up his seat for me!
Whales that get washed up onto the shore
You were there moaning about the cost of the wedding
I wasn’t like a blubbering mess…
But… I welled up…
I’ve been banging on about the royals a lot recently
It’s an illegal offence to be in charge of cattle..
People in Wales are often described as sheep shaggers
That sheep wants it
Failing to carry a spare dog poo bag
There’s been the odd occasion where I’ve forgotten one
If it’s a real log
My motto for life
Thanks for coming on and having a go at me
It means like ‘nags’!
RnR Grammar
In today’s podcast when Clarification Charlie was talking about writing a letter of complaint she said:
“It would be a strongly worded letter”
The term ‘strongly worded’ is lovely, I was trying to think of other examples in which we use it but I couldn’t really think of any, as 90% of the time you will hear exactly that “strongly worded letter / email”. For this reason, it’s so important to remember chunks of language, don’t learn words in isolation!
And the best thing about learning chunks of language is…. the grammar is included in the chunk! 👊
