MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

language barriermy parents have a house in spain. most of the neighbours are spanish, but one year the neighbour at number 6 let his house to an english family from london for the summer. bear in mind we are good yorkshire/manchester stock and my dad has the accent to prove it.
so this family have two girls, one of 12 and one of 14. my dad was struggling to make conversation with them about their favourite pop groups and the weather, not having much in common with teenage girls. eventually he came back in looking a bit shocked and said to me and my friend:
"have you ever heard of a pop group called BASTARD?"
so that would be BUSTED with a london accent then, dad...
