Muppers' story reminds me...
We were selling our house in York a few years back. A very nice French woman, with very good English was interested. She viewed the house, rang up later and asked if she could come back with a friend the next day. Excellent. She came round with the friend, they did the tour, chatting excitedly together etc. Came back down and she said she was putting in an offer. Result! We made a bit of small talk:
Me: "Do you live in York?"
Her: "Yes, I work at the University, I live on campus at the moment."
Me: "Really? What do you teach? French?"
Her: "No, micro-biology."
Me: "......"
