Paul St. George, an English Victorian ingnegnere, when the Union Jack sventolava on all the seas of the world, had a dream: making a tunnel between the two sides dell’atlantico that, thanks to a game of mirrors, could put communicating the citizens of New York with those of London.
150 years after the idea dell’immaginifico artist has been achieved, and Telectroscope was installed in London near Tower Bridge and New York near the Brooklin Bridge, allowing those who passed in front to cast a look of the other Part of the ocean. Of course, everything has been achieved thanks to more fiber-optic technology, but the result is the same: perfect strangers that the two sides of the tunnel is scrutano and exchange messages through an electronic blackboard.
The result might not be what they expected St. George, namely promoting relations between people thousands of miles away, at least judging from the wording of some of these “conversations”.
An Englishman to a U.S. policeman in uniform.
“How is it going la banda?”
“I’m one of NYPD Blue not the police, obviously not know how to appreciate the humor typical English.
Or an American fan of soccer, for an Englishman:
“Man U suck!” To send Manchester United to that country, perhaps because it took for Chelsea.
“Man, you suck!” Was the response british, who pronounced the same way but is the prodromo of future misunderstandings.
