The London Black Bogey Question.
I have recently moved to London, I use to live in the
country. Yes I know, to most people it’s a strange concept but yes, I have seen
a field before. The big rectangular thingies that people called farmers grow
things in, like wheat and sheep, cows and stuff. The even stranger thing is that
my version of the country is even stranger to understand for English people,
because I lived in a bigger country than England, so there were lots of these
rectangular fields.
Anyway I just
moved and I was feeling quite happy, you know, with the people rushing everywhere
and living in Halls. I also entered University so all great, good and happy. I
managed to get my boyfriend up here. We are very open and strange people who
speak about any and everything and find a great deal of things funny.
We’d been all sweet and nice to each other and all lovey-dovey
, when suddenly he looked at me, broke into a big smile and said: “You’ve got a
bogey! I’m really sorry, it’s very distracting.”
I love my boyfriend just for those small truthful moments
when I realize we are all human.
Anyway, so we both grabbed a tissue and blew our noses, just
to make sure that I wouldn’t have to tell him in the next couple of minutes.
Suddenly he cried out. I turned around to him and ask what’s
happened.
He just looked at me and said: “I’d forgotten about the
London Black Bogeys!”
Suddenly I thought, how strange that I know what he’s
talking about and that they actually have a name.
Is it just my boyfriend and I or is a well known thing?
