Wandered into a bar about 10pm. I went there the day before and the boss was in. All good. Watched the football. Got complimented on my German.
Fast forward to last night.
No boss. Swarthy looking lady running the show.
"Hallo, guten abend. Ich moechte ...."
"Sorry can't understand a word. You have a strange accent."
"Ja ok aber ......"
"No not a clue what you are saying. Let's speak English shall we?"
"Varum?"
"Because I can't understand a sodding word you are saying"
"OK because last night your boss said my German was very good, and your colleagues and I chatted for an hour or so".....
"Ah ok. Yes your German is very good"
"Really. And where do you hark from?"
"Turkey"
"OK. And your German and your German accent are perfect of course"
"Of course."
