This was the poolside conversation on our first afternoon on the Nile Cruise. It was in the high 40s and we decided to head straight for the pool, and as there a few tourists in Egypt at the moment, there was only one other person in the pool, a man with an Australian accent. After the initial greetings, the conversation went like this:
Man: So where do you live?
Anne: In Melbourne.
Man: What part of Melbourne do you live?
Anne: Williamstown, what about you?
Man: Opposite Jeff's Shed.
Anne: Oh so you live in Docklands?
Man: Laughed and said, well the bloody Melbourne City Council can't make up their mind if we're Docklands, or North Wharf or some other bloody name, so when I get back I'll probably be in some other bloody new suburb.
Anne: Silent (for a change).
Needless to say I didn't mention where I worked.
