Arnold午餐




  Arnold中心區就在High St.和Front St.,大部分商業都在這裏,有超級市場和零售鋪頭,關於Arnold這個名字的來源,Nottinghamshire Live有介紹:

  How these Nottingham suburbs got their name including some that are quite strange其中一段:

Arnold

Ever spotted an eagle in Arnold? Unlikely, we know. But the name translates to 'land where eagles are seen'.

It's listed in the Domesday Book as Ernehale, literally meaning 'eagle-slope' (the white-tailed eagle is also known as the 'erne'). However, considering the surrounding land isn't exactly eagle territory, it's more plausible that 'land where herons are seen' is a better fit.

Over time, the town's name evolved from Arnhale to Arnold.

  內容大致講「可以看到鷹的土地」,實際上在Arnold不可能看到鷹,不過那裏卻有一間The Eagles Corner的餐廳,於是入內先午餐,然後再找地址。

  英國人對於食似乎只為生存,最緊要有薯條,全日早餐無特別,份量充夠,漢堡包重點在牛肉,英國人的技術略欠一籌,幸好除了咖啡之外——當然還有啤酒——可以點一杯茶,十分有親切感,一個茶壺一個茶杯,簡單的用茶包,隆重的直接加茶葉在茶隔上,甚有品味。
