The Iinglish Of Dynya: Part 1
Mr. Bunch woke up at exactly seven-thirty on Tuesday morning. He had woken up at seven-thirty on Tuesday morning ever since the hotel had introduced the buffet at eight. His alarm was playing “London Calling” on Spotify. He was very chuffed with the fact he could do that sort of thing, ever since his adult nephew, Malcolm, had shown him several years ago back in Iinglatera. Mr. Bunch wasn’t much for technology. He hated the years spent in the council offices after they brought in computers. Clacking things, he thought, chuckling to himself for no apparent reason, other than the habit. No. Good paper and pen will do fine. Why should he have to use computers? He was already good at his job. Just seemed lazy, and a potential risk; it’ll mean anyone can work for the council, and they won’t need to add or subtract or remember anything.
