While undertaking field studies on the main lawn of Cannizaro an agent of ours overheard the discourse of two sun-bathers. When reading our agent's transcription please remember that this is the conversation of relaxed and idle people and the tone is therefore consistently languid.
. . .
Sunbather 1: Do you know what Neil was telling me the other day?
(pause)
Sunbather 2: No? What was Neil telling you the other day?
Sunbather 1: He was saying that... that this park is actually an Austrian park...
Sunbather 2: What does that mean? Austrian? We're in England. There's a cutting wind and I've been lying here for hours and tanned negligibly: we're in England.
Sunbather 1: No, that's not what he meant. The park itself was dug up and transported here some time ago - like the 18th century or something - and the park that was here is now where the Austrian one was. It's sort of swapped...
Sunbather 2: Sounds like Neil is talking out of his arse to me. Sounds typical Neil to me.
Sunbather 1: He said that on Friday they're gonna replace the parks, the deal was that in 2010 the parks are transported back... a diplomatic thing.
(pause)
Sunbather 1: (cont.) probably nonsense - like when he said that the guerkin building was built to conceal a giant missile and that the building could split open and the missile would fly out... typical Neil.
. . .
Whoever this Neil character is he sounds like some kind of rogue genius and we strongly encourage him to get in touch with this blog immediately.
