As I struggle for subjects to entertain my followers, I could write about the heat and the flying pests that invite themselves into our homes, but that has been fully explored, so dear readers what about X pats in Spain and a lack of understanding not only in terms of culture and language but systems how it all works.
Here I offer you a little snippet of converation between an English
gentleman and an agent of the Spanish police...police whom carry
guns.
- Buenas tardes caballero, permiso de conducir por favor -
English please, I`m English!!
Ah Ok, thats not what I asked señor. At this point I have to admit the
level broken english was better than I expected, indeed surprising.
Thus it continued. - Policeman - Do you have an NIE? (A unique
identity number which Spanish people, and foreign nationals whom
live in Spain must carry)
What is that ? I’m English
Yes, you said. Can I see your ...mmm….¿permiso de conducir?
- What is that ? - And so it went on. A sunburned individual from
good old blighty and a policeman who carried a gun.
Just remember dear readers, if you are English, the whole world
understands you. Because everyone speaks...mmm … English.
Or maybe not.
