30 Nov 05 Synonymous with Fog
While imagining a possible title for this blog, I typed “London” into the reference.com thesaurus. The results:
1 entry found for london.
Main Entry: fog
Part of Speech: noun 1
Definition: mist
Synonyms: brume, cloud, effluvium, film, fog-eater, gloom, grease, grey-out, ground clouds, haze, London fog, miasma, murk, murkiness, nebula, obscurity, pea soup, pea souper, smaze, smog, smoke, smother, soup, steam, vapor, wisp
I’m thinking this would aggravate Jag at Route 79 who says:
..it always mystified me as to why North Americans in particular always associate London with fog - “London Fog� in fact. Perhaps it’s to do with too many people growing up with a false impression that London is always a really “foggy� place. Perhaps fuelled by too many TV documentaries about Jack the Ripper set in the dark foggy streets of Victorian London?
I’ve been reading Jag’s blog for quite a few months (long before we knew we’d be moving to London), since I went looking for an awesome Mutter Paneer recipe. I can confirm his mutter is fantastic and I plan to cook up more of his recipes in the future - the Indian Style KFC for one!
OH - and I haven’t decided yet what this blog will be called, but at least temporarily it’s Now London… design will morph too, along with the experience.
