The sounds of London: no 22

I was walking past a building site yesterday and overheard an Australian chippie trying to explain the rules of cricket to two of his Polish co-workers who didn't have a clue but were doing their best to sound interested. It used to be it was just Aussies and Kiwis who came to London to earn a few quid on building sites. Not any more.

Considering how rubbish the cricket world cup has been I could fully understand the lack of interest amongst the Poles. And the Australians are going to win again and are already gloating about it, so no-one else gives a shit anymore.
