I had a revelation today.

As you know I have been getting the ferry to and from work but there as been a bit of confusion so far on my destination home. I say “one to the marina please” and the ferry person says to me “ok yes, one to the hand”. Then the person next to me will say “one to the hand please” and then they get off at the same place as me which is the marina. This has happened five times but I haven’t plucked up the courage to say “one to the hand please” because I am going to the marina and I might say that and I worry that without understanding what I am saying they might turn round and say “what on earth is the hand?” and everyone on the ferry will laugh. I have searched the marina to find a notable boat called the hand or a nearby building called the hand but I have never found anything.

Until today and it was such a revelation I said “aaaah!” out loud. Directly in front of the ferry stop sits this:

I don’t know how I missed it. Tomorrow I will say “one to the hand” with confidence.
