Truly Overheard ~ On the Street

Have you ever noticed how the British talk in questions?

Several weeks ago on my way back from a dental appointment I overheard a conversation.
I was on west 57th street near Columbus circle. A man pushing a baby carriage was walking with his wife, obviously tourist by the way they were looking up at the tall buildings.

Commenting with a heavy British accent ...

Husband ~ "That's a clever building isn't it ?"
Wife ~ "Do you think so ?"
Husband ~ "Did you see that Topper ?"
Wife ~ "Smart, don't you think ?"
Baby ~ "Gaa Gaa Goo Goo ?"
