Overheard: Greece

I went to sunny Greece recently for a conference, spending some time on the beautiful island of Skiathos. It was actually rainy for quite a few days. Still, that gave me time to people-watch and people-listen. 

So here's what I heard.

• The plane landed in Tessa-loco* or whatever it’s called.
  
  
• We came here to avoid our neighbour’s wedding.
  
  
• ...is it Scorpios or Skopelos?
  
  
• She was so angry with me, cos she’s really small.
  
  
• Sandra nods off on the couch. I think it’s cos we don’t do a lot.
  
  
• It’s offputting is what it is. Offputting. They need to know! We’ll not be back!
  
  
• I’ve a week of Emmerdale and Corrie waiting for me at home.
  
  
• Have you been to York? Is it worth the four-hour drive?
  
  
• I hear the weather at home is not too bad.
