When I was living and working in Florida I had a Texan colleague. One day we were talking about dentists and dental care. He commented that he once "bust ma tooth biden on ass". Incredulously I asked him how he came to be biting somebody's backside. He looked very puzzled. He meant that he had broken a tooth biting on ice.

Years ago we had dealings with a representative who's name was Dick Dokter. I decided to keep his business card for posterity.

My sister-in-law was married to a chap who started his career in the Dutch merchant navy. During this period he gained his "Vaardiploma" or sailing diploma. After leaving the merchant navy he was once a guest at dinner with a family in the UK. During the conversation he commented "I got my VD when I was in the merchant navy". The reaction at the table was not what he expected.

You can have a lot of fun making mistakes when learning a foreign language. You just have to embrace them. I've made more than my fair share learning Dutch. To British ears there is an indiscernible difference in sound between the Dutch words for "yellow" and "horny". It nearly got me into trouble when I was in conversation with a Dutch female friend who was wearing an all yellow outfit.

My sister was once on a school exchange staying with a family in France. Having eaten, the French host asked if she wanted any more to which my sister replied translating literally from English, "No thank you. I'm full". Apparantly "Non merci. Je suis plein" means "No thank you. I'm pregnant".

Bagnall's Models on Salter Street, Stafford. I spent many Saturdays browsing/buying upstairs amongst the model rail stuff in the 70's and bought umpteen Airfix/Revell kits. I'm not sure when they ceased trading. I've often wondered if there was some sort of connection with W G Bagnall in Stafford where my grandfather worked for 52 years.
