Title: B&Q visit

I went to B&Q today, while standing by the outdoor timber a old man dressed in orange asked me if I wanted decking, so I got the first punch in ;)

I always pretend I am foreign and usually works. I remember saying to a double glazing woman at B&Q once that 'I thought she was a filthy scrubber' in Dutch. I regretted it, she was from Rotterdam. Oh boy, did she call me a few names. Most of which were physicaly impossible anyway.

I also tried this at birmingham airport when I found I had dropped the wife at the airport and then forgot my wallet when it came to leaving, so I drove to the barrier and yelled a lot in Zulu (yes I can speak it). They got a cleaner from somewhere who actually spoke Zulu to help me. I did get out free, but had to promise to marry this guys goat or something. :-[

There has'nt been a building site I have been on for almost 2 years if not more, where there are no eastern europeans, and on some they are all Europeans, which is not good when as the client you walk on a site and try to ask a question and they can't f****n understand a word >:(

What I do now is pre-arrange a meet on site with the contactors contract manager (all of whom speak english), not saying they can't all understand some understand bits, but that does'nt help me.

I cant even speak wigan-ese! lived here all my life, learnt to speak properly from an early age to avoid sounding as unintelligent as many of them do!!

my parents are from southport, which i suppose is a slight positive!
