An Official
Now i wouldn't call the lady that runs the cafe in the Ethiopian Airport at Dire Dawa an official. But she had a uniform.

"Can i have some chips"
"Can't have chips, not on the menu"
"Whats that?" I point to some lady eating chips
"Egg sandwich"
"I'll have an Egg Sandwich please"
"It is not on the menu either"
"But i can make it"
"Yes please, two Egg Sandwiches, they come with chips?"
"Yes"
"Thankyou"


But to be honest this is nothing. In Ethiopia it is still 2005, as they have 13 months and time starts at 6am... So 7am is 1am. If you are in a village night time doesn't have a time. It is just 'Nightime'

Ethiopia
Had loads of food... However very short on basic skilled plumbers.

Blimey, I thought you were joking about it being 2005 in Ethiopia
That's QI-worthy

Ethiopia is on GMT+3 and the standard calendar.
Are you sure they weren't winding up the whiny egg sandwich man?
