C’est Ironique Sign of the Weeque
You know all those Italian restaurants in English-speaking countries that call themselves “La Trattoria”? As though it’s supposed to be some kind of clever, evocative name even though it just means “The Restaurant”? Did you ever wonder if business owners in non-anglophone countries are that unimaginative?
The answer, luckily for me, is yes. This is the duty-free shop in the Seville airport. For more ill-advised English from France’s neighbor to the southwest, see this week’s C’est Ironique.
