British People and Cemeteries

Hello everyone and welcome again to another Teacher Joseph podcast.

One of the weirdest things about British culture is the way we enjoy our visits to cemeteries. Cemeteries, otherwise known as graveyards, are places where you can find British people relaxing with a cup of tea, perhaps, uh, a bottle of Coca-Cola or with a sandwich. It's a little bit strange. Now, I've lived in many countries across the world, and I have to say that only in Britain are we completely detached from the feelings associated with tombs, graves and dead people.

If you go to a restaurant in the UK, particularly a cafe, you may even find that it was once a church. There are churches around which close, and then they're sold to restaurant owners, or they become pubs, and you find yourself walking across these tombs without even thinking about it. To avoid any difficulties or problems with this. Some restaurants and pubs will lay carpets on the floor so that you won't actually see the names of those who've died. Not to worry though, because these people who've died, usually they've died hundreds of years ago. It's not like they died last week. I'm not sure if that makes it worse or makes it better.

This is an episode of "The Railroad Hour" an American all singing, all dancing radio show from 1931. The quality is very good if you like entertainment. They are reflecting on the year, 1931.
