Re ladies of the roundabout...once when taking some customers for dinner,who had an 8 year old with them.The youngster said "what's that woman standing there for?" Dad's reply was " oh,she's waiting for a bus" when going back past the same roundabout two hours later,the same woman was there...the boy said"dad,are there not many buses here?"

I seriously thought those girls were selling melons when we first started coming to Spain. I said , those poor girls, that's exploitation , sitting in this heat all day selling fruit ! Well at least they have water. I wanted to stop and buy melons just out of pity , my OH cackling like an old witch said " are you for real"!!!!
When I was in Dubai , this guy came over with a towel, as they do, and said I love Cameroon.i said , do you , I haven't been , is that where you are from, are you home sick?? , he looked very confused and said , lady , I love your daveed Cameroon!! , bloody hell I thought when I realised , you're the only one !!!!!

I remember my first shopping trip to the local market in the village . I spent all morning learning the Spanish names for the food I had intended buying. After quite a bit of learning I ventured into the shop and gave my shopping details in Spanish. When completed I paid the man that had served me , he had not spoken to me during the shopping trip , but just as I was about to go he said * that was vey good you speak better Spanish than myself and I have been here for a few years * it turned out the man in question was English.!!!!!!!!! How embarrassed can you get :oops:

I was on holiday with my sister some years ago in Tenerife. After a week or so I told my sister that I needed to get some laxatives and would she drive me to the chemist. Of we went. The first farmacia was filled with tourists and I did not wish to have to explain what a I needed as I would be too embarrassed so off I went and we drove towards Adele where she knew of another farmacia. This time,the staff were the only people in the shop. They did not speak much English so I asked for something for constipation. The assistant immediately picked up a decongestant and told me the price. No, no, I said , constipation....again, decongestants...finally,I said ASSEO . Suddenly, she realised what I wanted. It seems that the words are very similar but she laughed and laughed as did the other staff and myself! We are so lucky in Spain that so many people speak our language so well otherwise there would be many people buying decongestants instead of good old ducolux.

Scottish couple decided to go to Spain to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Glasgow and flew to Barcelona on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Blackpool , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who died following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: February 22, 2011

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones.
I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. F***ing hot down here!
