l'étranger, the age of reason, nineteen eighty-four, side effects, not handmaid's tale its rubbish dont read it..."When you come back to England from any foreign country, you have immediately the senasation of breathing a different air. Even in the first few minutes dozens of small things to conspire to give you this feeling. The beer is bitterer, the coins are heavier, the grass is greener, the advertisements are more blatant. The crowds in the big towns, with their mild knobby faces, their bad teeth and gentle manners, are different from a European crowd... The clatter of clogs in the Lancashire mill towns, the to-and-fro of the lorries on the Great North Road, the queues outside the Labour Exchanges, the rattle of pintables in the Soho pubs, the old maids biking to Holy Communion through the mists of the autumn morning... It is somehow bound up with solid breakfasts and gloomy Sundays, smoky towns and winding roads, green fields and red pillarboxes. It has a flavour of its own. Moreover it is continuous, it stretches into the future and the past, there is something in it that persists as in a living creature..."http://i17.tinypic.com/40kvrcy.gif
