Careful darlin'
There I was riding my bike, leading the peleton, as I do, when a lady shot out of a junction. I only just missed her and carried on.
A chap behind me shouts "Careful darlin'!"
"Oh", thinks I, "another English type person, I shall say hello."
At the next set of traffic lights I turn and say "That was a near miss hey?"
"Hva' siger du?" comes the reply.
"Sorry, I thought you spoke English."
"Hva'?"
So, did he speak Danish and I just understood it without realising what language he was speaking? Spooky...
