😁 LOL- Laughing Out Loud 😂

-

The British are worldwide famous for their sense of humour! 

There are plenty of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish comedians who are real models to comic actors and performers all around the world!

When I lived in England (here I go again... 😉), I enjoyed watching TV a lot because there were several comedy programmes on different channels everyday! I didn´t think they were all funny, but I could choose and watch my favourite:                                                                                😀Comedy series- The Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill, French and Saunders, Absolutely Fabulous, The Black Adder, Yes, Minister, Yes, Prime Minister, Mr. Bean, and many many more ;                              😏"Have I got News for you?", a programme in which 4 comedians made comments about the latest News (about politis, economy, society...);                                                                    😄An improvisational comedy competition show- "Whose Line is it Anyway?", and so on...                       

When I first went to a place called The Comedy Store, 

I was truely amazed! I watched performances of comedy that were totally improvised, i. e., what  the actors said and did was invented on the spur of the moment! That's Improvisation: nothing is planned or written in advance. And some of these performers were very very good at it!  

Recently, a friend of mine, Luísa, introduced me to this Irish group of comedians: Foil Arms and Hog (this name is the result of putting their nicknames together). I started watching them and I've already suscribed them on the YouTube: they make me smile, laugh and I love the Irish accent, the way they pronounce the words! 🥰

So, please, be my guest and watch this video about some students having a Maths class at home because of the Quarantine... 

Let me know your opinion, if you find it funny, surprising, boring, hilarious... 



P.S.- Laughing is the best medicine!

The Lollipoplady

Finally! 😉 Here's the answer:   A lollipoplady is a woman who helps children to cross the road near a school.  She stands in the middle of the road and holds up a stick with a round sign on it that means the traffic must stop. This sign resembles a lollipop!  So that's where the name comes from!               And at the end of every school term, the Lollipoplady gives real lollipops to all the children!                                                 The first woman doing this job was Mary Hunt, in 1937. She lived in Bath, England. Nowadays we can find lollipopladies in The United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. This is the Lollipoplady I met when I lived in England, in a place near Windsor (20 minutes from London).  I worked as an au pair:  I lived with an English family and looked after their 3 child...
