Because the story took place in Barcelos.
Barcelos is in northern Portugal near Braga.

"Better don't be?" I think this calls for a staff meeting. Professors
Reid, Challenger and Nitram will meet shortly with the Head of Faculty
to decide on a suitable course of action.

In the meantime, Magda Minor of the Lower Sixth Travel, you are on a
First Written Warning. (See Disciplinary Code Article 2.1)

    >Happy ?

Perhaps I could get you a green frog with aspirations to the throne of
Great Britain or a gold pass to the managerial staff men's room.
