Day 18.300: Profanity not intended
Exile #2, Exile #3 and I have been watching the Great British Sewing Bee which we’ve been thoroughly enjoying. The subtitles have been - to say the least bemusing. From weird errors like “sowing” instead of “sewing” - it’s literally the name of the show, to inventing words - “pintux” instead of “pin tucks”, to this amazing moment. The judges were coming in to judge the transformation challenge and Esme Young made a small exclamation, “I say!”
