The Odd English
Yesterday I made Treacle Sponge with custard for desert formyself and my flatmates, as you may or may not know, this recipe contains the magical secret substance Treacle or Golden Syrup. According to the author Terry Pratchett this substance is from the mines around Treacle Mine Road in the city of Ankh-Morpork where dwarves delve it. However, one look at the tin it comes from would suggest that the stuff is made out of lion. "Out of the strength came forth sweetness" is the motto under the depiction of what seems to be a lion. Yes, definitely a lion. But, what a strange pose it is in! It isn't dead is it? Those dots aren't flies around a rotting lion corpse, are they? Are they??
English people are sick....

Tut tut! It's true! There is a dead lion with flies on the tin!
Youre absolutely right about the dead lion, though aren't they bees instead of flies? (Out of strength came forth sweetness i.e. honey?)
See you friday night (from 10pm onwards)?
