The Guy’s Name

Right now I’m in the UK, more precisely in Nottingham. I came for a conference related to my work. When I arrived I didn’t know anyone so I couldn’t prepare myself for anything. They end up being very nice people that made a very touching approach.

Anyway, when I arrived, I prepared myself for a much more formal ambience. I was thinking of that when the taxi driver, entering the campus I went to, said:

– What’s your name?

– Videira.

– What?

– Videira.

He turned himself to some kind of microphone to reach the reception staff and shouted out loud:

– The guy’s name is Videda.

Ok. Suddenly I was the Guy! Quite a welcome reception!
So much for formality which is very nice for me, for as you all know, or are learning, I’m really not formal!
