So it’s just me that doesn’t get asked. Now I’ve got a complex.

Some time last year I was waiting for a bus at the bottom of North Street and was asked by an American where the nearest tube station was :eek: :facepalm:

Very rarely here but was asked quite regularly on holiday abroad. I guess that's to be expected though.
likewise. I’m on holiday in Spain at the mo and have been asked for directions 3 times in the last week, each time by Spanish people. The beach near us is a ******* to find though

Me and the Mrs have just got back from Italy and the amount of Germans that asked me questions in the street was amazing. I can only assume that I look German as it was quite frequent, but not just directions, mobile phone and travel agent advice too. Very odd.

Perhaps you look like an Italian that speaks German?

I've twice been singled out on train platforms and been asked for directions by Germans. In one case, they walked about 20m passing a dozen or so people to ask me. They must have guessed I looked like someone who spoke German but how they knew this, I have no idea. I certainly don't look German so it's not that.

I just look old ( because I am) but that didn't stop 11 (eleven) consecutive groups of travellers/tourists asking me for directions at Farringdon a week or so ago. Almost turned into a game of Mornington Crescent...
