It was that or Madonna

My colleague G, a Londoner resident for some years in New York, tells of a party here recently at which he was making small talk with a fellow guest who quickly divined his English origins:

"Where are you from?", she asked

"London", he replied.

"Oh! What part?"

"Belsize Park."

"My daughter lives in Belsize Park."

"How nice. What is her name?"

"Gwyneth Paltrow."
