Dialogue: Di and Angie deciding to have a day out
It’s a Sunday morning and Diane has decided to call round
to see
Angie, to see whether or not she’d like a day out in London.
Diane:
Hi ya Angie! I thought I’d pop round to see if you’d like to go
out somewhere for the day. Come on, where do you fancy
go-
ing then?
Angie:
That’s really thoughtful of you Di, but I’m feeling a bit down
in the dumps. I’m not really in the mood. My boss has been
so ratty
with me lately, he’s making my life a misery.
Diane:
Never mind, be a sport. Go on, it would really cheer you up
and take your mind off things. It would do you the world of
good to get out of this dump and go out somewhere interesting
for a change
.
Angie:
Where did you have in mind, then?
Diane:
Well, in a place like London we’ve got a lot of choice. There’s
the British Museum, with the Egyptian Mummies… then
there’s the Tate with so many fabulous painting… you’ve
never been there, have you?
Angie:
No, but you know that art galleries are not really my cup of tea.
I feel out of place there, and I can’t even tell Gainsborough
