Hello, I'm William and here I am in Vera's garden to present the program today.
Hi, Will.
Yes, I'm Vera.
And well, before the program I've got to hang up my washing.
No problem.
Actually, Vera,
that's quite handy to have you doing that
as we have an expression to teach today that many people might find quite amusing.
To get your knickers in a twist.
No, Will, my knickers are not twisted.
I've got my knickers nicely hung here from this washing line.
As are my blouses, my tablecloth, my jeans.
What are you saying about my washing hanging technique?
Do you think I'm not doing my washing right?
No, no, I didn't mean that.
I.
I even like those pink pyjamas with yellow polka dots that I can see hanging further down the line.
