Some background.
My colleague C leaves us this autumn to go to drama school, making a stab at becoming a professional actress. She is already a pretty good amateur one, with numerous stage appearances and even a couple of small speaking parts on TV.
So, she's an actress. Hold that thought.
This year's summer works do was a Kingmaker Feast at Warwick Castle. In honour of the event, most of us dressed up in a variety of medieval costumes. (A photo may follow in a later post.) My colleague B was there as a bishop, with purple skullcap and long black robe and large cross.
A bishop. Hold that thought.
B hadn't done his robe up in a couple of places, so C said, "shouldn't that be buttoned up?"
And I said-
I actually said-
"As the actress said to the bishop."
YES!
