I overheard half of a phone conversation recently on the train from Cambridge. If this was a TV drama I would think the dialogue was somewhat improbable.
Lady on phone:
“We can’t plan our lives around them not knowing they’re doing. Why don’t we just plan the honeymoon and let them sort things out around that.”
[…]
“They haven’t told you you’re going to Liberia until today and you’re travelling on Monday. They’re not very good letting you know about anything, sweetheart.”
