Ok I can hear my Mum saying "how come the sudden realisation, I have been telling you this for years..." ;o)
We have a broker in our office yesterday today and tomorrow (she is from Brazil) and is in London for a month learning how the London market works - why they have to send her here in January when its cold I dont know!
I was chatting to her yesterday and she mentioned that she department she works in covers fine arts - so I asked if she had been to any art galleries (on a fact finding mission type thing), she said no she hadnt yet...
...so I said that she should go to the Tate to which she said (mimicking the way I pronounced it really well) where is the T-a-a-a-a-yyyyyyyyt I shuddered a little inside as to just how horrible I sound ;o).
LOL I now have a complex about the way that I am speaking ;o)
