7 a London particular
разг.; шутл.густой лондонский туман [выражение создано Ч. Диккенсом; см. цитату]...I asked him whether there was a great fire anywhere. For the streets were so full of dense brown smoke that scarcely anything was to be seen. ‘O dear no, miss,’ he said. ‘This is a London particular.’ ‘I had never heard of such a thing,’ ‘A fog, miss,’ said the young gentleman. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Bleak House’, ch. III) —...я спросила, уж не вспыхнул ли где-нибудь большой пожар, спросила потому, что в городе стоял необычно густой и темный дым - ни зги не было видно. - Конечно нет, мисс! - воскликнул он. - Это такая лондонская особенность. - Я никогда о ней не слыхала. - Это туман, мисс, - пояснил молодой человек.
...Ramsay MacDonald made to delegates from 66 countries a speech so foggy that a Dickensian "London Particular" seemed bright sunshine by comparison. (‘The New Statesman’) —...Рамсей Макдональд произнес перед делегатами из 66 стран такую туманную речь, по сравнению с которой густой лондонский туман, описанный Диккенсом, кажется прозрачной дымкой ясного летнего дня.
