I'm often misunderstood at my supermarket in Sussex, not because of my accent but because I tend to deviate from the script. Cashier: Hello, how are you this evening? Me: Has your house ever been burgled? Cashier: What? Me: Your house-has anyone ever broken into it and stolen things? With me, people aren't thinking What did you say? so much as Why are you saying that?
