The retreat with 80+ girls (and 2 boys) from South London (who were almost all black btw - not that it mattered, but I was wasn't expecting to overcome both a cultural and racial barriers) could not have gone better. Instead of boring detalis, here are some quotes that made me laugh:
"Sit on your Mum!" ~Girl being mean to another girl
"Can you say, 'I'd like a cup of tea,' in an English accent?"
"I don't think I can't say that in an English accent."
"Can you speak in an American accent?"
"Totally awesome dude."
"Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!" (with two-handed finger guns waving overhead) ~apparently this means that you are somewhat dangerous, and it's a celebration.
"Where is the bloody sugar?" ~Beth, SPEC Volunteer
