I had an English friend in Kenya who used to get her mords wixed up so you’d have Kate and Sidney Pie, crubarb rumble and so on.

Her daughter was due to start uni in the UK and she came to England to help her daughter look for a flat to live in near the uni. Barclays Bank were offering a student account with good interest rates so she called into the Bank to set up an account for her daughter. The person dealing with her was a bit slow on the uptake so she got so frustrated, she banged the table and said “I won’t bark at Banclays!” The clerk got the giggles and was even worse and her daughter said “Mum, you do realise that you just said you “won’t bark at Banclays”? All three of them cracked up.

Then my aunt who lived until she was 101 went to Germany years ago and wanted a hammer with the claw thing for pulling out the nails. So she found a hammer in this shop with just the hammer, couldn’t speak German, so pointed to the hammer she had picked up and put two fingers in the air. The shop keeper got more and more angry and she couldn’t understand why!
