So after a recent trip back to the homeland (insert oh so patriotic comments), I was once again how i stand out in my own unique way.
Any shop that i frequent, usually purveyors of a complete meal for under $10, knows me.  Now this isn't that terribly surprising in itself, it was when i thought about it at a more indepth level(well deep for me, i like to stay in the kiddy pool, erm for the depth, i better get back on track before i get put onth e black list) that it should out. 

Both nations in question here were invaded by the british, both now have very strong immigration policies. So in both nations i can look like the 80% majority (wikipedia*), but in one i open my mouth and instantly people brains click.  Again both countries, dispite the strong immigration laws have some semblance of multiculturalism (yeah depends a lot on where you go) and i tend to be in those kinds of places. so why do i particularly stand out.  Is it because people think i'm one thing and turn out to be another? anyhow funnier part time..... perhaps

So often i can be at purchasing an item and i'll be asked a question. and even more often i'll fail to understand it (yes i understand less questions than i'm asked, it's a skill), so i'll pause and to and process what they said into my native tongue, perhaps i might ask them to explain, but normally before i get this far they'll repeat the question, which normally doesn't help, but my favourite, is when they repeat the question in another language, which always give me a little chuckle.  This is where i'll ask them to explain it to my like a child,  Or i might ask someone i'm with to explain it to me, which is even better when they don't understand.   The rule at the end of this anything along the linds of 'that's good' 'i'll take that' ' STOP!!! just like that is perfect'.  These are generally followed by a look and a 'are you sure you don't want some X'.
