So she explained that she had been asking for directions over the phone from someone in a professional office. The directions were all "up the hill" and "down the hill" and so forth. So to clarify she asked, "Is that east or west?"
The answer:
"Oh, we're in the city. We don't have east and west."
Really!
They do have North and South, though.
I checked.
I normally post an Odd SHOT every Monday. An Odd Shot is an image that gives you pause, perhaps an odd angle on something fairly normal, or a surprising sight. Today's Odd Shot is heard, not seen. The images are just for illustration, though I suppose it is odd for someone to go down the road taking pictures of street signs. Leave a comment if you have an odd shot--or an odd spot--so we can find your.

LOL! Oh goodness, I don't think I'd want any staff like that in our office.
My first odd shot for the new year!
Formal wear
Good way to get lost. . .
A narrow city they live in! With roads only going up/down and north/south! Funny! My odd shot is up.
Up or down eh, nice one.
That is odd... mine is up.
I need to wave my arms around to give directions and I certainly don't know east from west!
Funny! You have to wonder what the heck people are thinking when they say such things.
