But what you get back in return, from the natives, is massive.
All of a sudden you become lifted from the status of brit w@nker, to 'we'd best fill up the bar nibbles'.
Like Chappers, we try to miss all Brits when abroad.
The bit I just don't get is why do all Brits (hey this is a generalisation thread) not bother to learn, even a few words in the new language.
Hello
Goodbye
Please, and most importantly,
Thank you.
That's it, that tiny bit of effort goes so...
