Would you fancy a chat?

Within the last week I have made some new friends. (yes, I do actually have friends) I work at a coffee house inside the Winter Haven Airport so I come in contact with people from all over the world everyday. This past week I met some lovely people from the U.K.! It is so exciting to learn about different cultures. But, what I have found to be very interesting, is their accent, and the different phrases they say. I have been walking around speaking British all week! To them, I am sure I look and sound like an idiot, because every time they speak, all I can muster out is a very loud chuckle! "Would you fancy a chat?" "That's rubbish" "car park" "Could I ring you later?" "Brilliant!" "Idunno" (please dont imagine me saying this, imagine someone british..haha) Not only does their accent fascinate me, but their manners do as well. We all went out to eat and I was blown away when I noticed one of the guys was eating a hamburger and french fries with a fork and knife. When I explained that "we" (as in Americans) eat hamburgers and french fries with our fingers he replied with, "But then my fingers will get dirty." So I finally talked him into eating the burger and fries with his fingers and he says, "Do you realize this goes against everything I learned growing up?" I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe! (BTW, I am not making fun, I was simply amused) Anyway, it has been great fun to learn a little about someone outside of Polk County.

Have a lovely day!
