Language barrier

Just so you know, I realise there's a lot of entries with this date - since getting to NYC I've had connectivity issues so I've been keeping track of stuff on Word - but now I'm posting them all!

Wednesday 8 June

Yesterday, I was ordering a bagel at lunch time; Gill had just ordered a tuna melt, and I ordered mine; “A plain toasted bagel please.”

The guy nodded and grabbed one. “You want anything on it?”

“Just butter.”

“What?”

“Butter.”

“What?”

“Butter.”

“Mustard?”

“But-ter.”

“Oh,” he said. “Budder!”

And they say there’s no language barrier…
