Out walking last week with Mrs John last week, I commented that it was unusual for us to have an easterly wind, it's normally a westerly where we are.
'Probably coming from Serbia' she announces. After some blank looks from me, and asking her if she knew where Serbia is, I realised she meant Siberia
My wife is from Serbia. When people (usually someone else's Mrs...) ask her where she comes from, and she tells them, the response is often "blimey, isn't it really cold there??".'Probably coming from Serbia' she announces. After some blank looks from me, and asking her if she knew where Serbia is, I realised she meant Siberia
Australia/Austria.
Slovakia/Slovenia is the common mix up. Although someone once thought she has an Australian accent.
I've a standard RP southern England accent. I once went in a coffee shop in a tiny, backwater, one-horse town in the wilds of Australia, and when I spoke the lady behind the counter asked me if I was German.
I went to the DMV in San Bernardino and explained to the African American lady behind the window what I was there for.
My accent is gently West Coast Scottish, leaning towards English grammar school RP.
She heard me out, then spun around on her seat and yelled "Hey, Diane! Come over here and listen to this boy"!

Yeah, it can be, but nothing like Siberia!

Yes I'd forgotten the Slovakia/Slovenia one - very common in the UK to mix them up.

And were you?I've a standard RP southern England accent. I once went in a coffee shop in a tiny, backwater, one-horse town in the wilds of Australia, and when I spoke the lady behind the counter asked me if I was German.

Her to me: I'll have avocado, mushrooms and scrambled egg.
FFS!!!
