Hi, my name is Dino and I’m from Italy. This story happened when I first moved to London. I had a friend there, also a foreigner, from Japan, and one evening we met in a pub for a drink.

POUČENÍ • Dejte si záležet na výslovnosti! (pozor na koncové znělé souhlásky)

We were sitting and I just said: “Well, my ankle is in a really bad shape today. It must be because of the 3-hour session in the gym.” Of course I thought he understood clearly what I meant. But he replied: “So how old is your uncle?” I decided to make a joke and I said: ‘Well, it’s of course my age.’ When we left the pub later on and we were saying goodbye, when I was leaving he said: ‘And of course when you see your uncle, wish him well’.
