Carroll’s blog
The most embarrassing thing that happened to her.
On her plane back from Australia, Carroll was washing her hands in the loo when she heard the steward ask the passengers to go back to their seats. The plane was going up and down. Some people were turning green (= feeling sick). She was walking down the aisle /aNl / when the plane dipped down and she lost her balance and she landed in a lady’s pasta Bolognese. She turned bright red/as red as a beetroot. She was a right mess and everybody was laughing around. She has never felt so stupid. How embarrassing!
