单集文稿 ...

  • Hello, and welcome to another episode of the british English podcast, where I aim to explore the rich tapestry of history, culture, and language of Britain.

  • I'm your host, Charlie, and I've got to confess, I might sound a bit different today as I had a local anaesthetic in my mouth earlier this morning.

  • So my left side of my face is a bit droopy.

  • Hopefully, you don't notice a difference to my voice, but hopefully that won't take away from today's aim, which is to take you on a little journey inspired by something quite unexpected.

  • And that is pineapples.

  • That's right, pineapples.

  • Why?

  • Well, I was walking around London earlier today, as one does, living in London and listening to a podcast by blind boy.

  • He's not blind.

  • It's just his stage name or podcast name.

  • If you haven't heard of him.

  • He delves deep into irish mythology, culture, mental health, and other fascinating topics.

  • Well worth a listen.

  • But what caught my attention this time was his episode about pineapples.

  • Yes, I know what pineapples.

  • What you see, he talked about their cultural significance in Europe and particularly in England.

  • And I tell you what, as I continued my walk, something strange started happening.

  • I began to see pineapples everywhere.

  • And this wasn't the anesthetic playing tricks on my brain.

  • I even went up to one and touched it.
