Yeah, it was good. It was a bit, like-- I hated the red light district.
Interviewer:
Mhm.
Charlotte:
It was weird. Em and then--
Michelle:
I liked the red light district, just to see what it was all about.
Charlotte:
We didn't see it at night, we just went during the day, but.
Interviewer:
Mhm. But the-- the canal's very, um-- like, it's just-- there's no water in the canal at the red light district, it's just like--
Charlotte:
Yeah, it was dirty.
Interviewer:
Aye.
Charlotte:
Yeah, the whole place was quite dirty actually.
Interviewer:
Mhm.
Charlotte:
But we went on a boat cruise
Interviewer:

Charlotte:
so we saw quite a lot, so we didn't have to walk 'cause--
Interviewer:

Charlotte:
but yeah.
Interviewer:
Did you go to Anne Frank's house?
Charlotte:
Well, we did but people had said book in advance and then I thought they meant, like, a couple of days but on the website it says a couple of months. There was no tickets.
Interviewer:
Was there not?
Charlotte:
No, so when we got there people had also said the queue was massive. I was like "it won't be that big" and it was, like, four, five streets worth of people.
Interviewer:
Honestly?
Charlotte:
Yeah, they were all sitting having picnics waiting to get in. I was like "let's just take a picture and go."
Interviewer:
Aye, mhm.
Charlotte:
So we just took a picture of the house.
Michelle:
It's 'cause it'd be quite a lot your holiday wasted
Charlotte:
Yeah.
Michelle:
in a queue, wouldn't it?
Older speakers
Hilda:
See, I remember being at a young farmers' outing and-- and I had said "oh, I've left my jaiket doon" and-- and this chap says "That's no a jaiket, it's a jacket."
Gavina:
Mhm.
Hilda:
And I thought "who do you think you are?"

Gavina:
And I said "a jacket" and "oh, yeah" or whatever, you know?
Hilda:

Hilda:
Your anorak. Mhm. Mhm.

And I thought "maybe they don't use that word."
Hilda:
Word now. Mhm. Mhm.
Gavina:
