“Yeah , I think i’l go the fried chicken Vons Speshl thanks . Yeah mate the … chicken . ….. the fried chicken bits just there dude . Oh , you got no idea what I’m saying . “I point at the chicken and the sign which says 8 pieces of deep fried chicken for $4.99 ( cheap )The little Mexican dude looks at me with one eye brow raised , he’s either confused or thinks I’m taking the piss out of him . Eventually I use sign language , 8 fingers and then pointing at the chicken . He thinks I’m making fun of him , implying that he can’t count . “Nah mate it’s all cool , I just want the …… chicken ……… special . ” Sir you wan fry or grill ? “Just the fried thanks chief” He pauses and pulls his head back and stares me down for a second . I’m laughing now , just stretching it a bit . I get it , they can’t understand me as they find the accent too strong . I apologise for my accent and he replies that it very strong . I finally get the chicken and tell him it looks grouse … No idea . I ran into our neighbour and say hello , how’s “Wilson “? ( her Dog) Ohh heees fine thank you . “Is he named after the volleyball from Castaway ?”I ask ..She doesn’t understand a word I’m saying . Emma tells me to slow down . I repeat myself .She replies that the dog is named after her late father . “Oh I thought he’s head looks a bit like a volleyball n all and ya must’ve named him after wilson . ” I’m being a bit of a smart arse and I reckon it’s quite funny , but Lisa stands there . The humour and the accent flies straight over the top of her . Emma gives me a quick elbow to the ribs and we say good bye ,hope you have a nice day “. Our humour coupled with my accent makes me unintelligible….,,,,, Love it .
