A slight variation to my usual fare but I thought that I would play with the phrase "Taxi to the Chinese please" Why? I was passing the Chinese Take Away in Penparcau, Aberystwyth on Saturday night and a Taxi was parked outside slightly in the road with its hazard lights on. I then spoke the words "Taxi to the Chinese please" out loud and was struck by how please rhymed with Chinese. I then taped my voice which you can hear below. I chose to use a cod comic North Walian accent.
I chose to repeat the request a few times. As you listen you might like to consider how convenience food and convenient transport can make a dent in your wallet. There was also an idea that mentioning the 'Chinese' was somehow taboo because of the Covid-19 virus. Why does 'Chinese' refer to a take-away and not to the Embassy? It appears that the balloon has been lifted and we have returned to our take away heavens. Take Out to Eat In. This is an experiment in audio expression. Thank you for listening.
