because I think I did worse. About 14 or 15 years ago I was chatting away to a young fella who worked for his brother renting deckchairs on the beach. This kid had sustained some brain damage probably from birth but was the hardest worker I ever saw on the beach and lovely to chat with and practice my BI. I politely asked him if he had a girlfriend yet and he replied that he had, so I said that was great and where was she? He replied that she was in Denpasar and I paid my money and chuffed off.

As I was walking back to the hotel I had the sinking feeling that I had used the wrong word so rushed for my dictionary when I got home and found to my absolute horror that what I had actually asked him was whether he had a prostitute yet.
