26th December. How to Order a Coffee.

Isabelle was surprised then appalled when she discovered the reason the man behind the bar at The London Hotel had served up two black coffees as well as two white coffees. This was clear evidence of another case of 'Are you on drugs?' syndrome; the inability to communicate the simplest of requests by word of mouth.

Isabelle and Junior gave me a thorough grilling on speech habits, not being bothered, and not willing to make any effort regarding enunciation etc. Junior determined to enlighten me further with the use of the newly acquired video technology of his mobile phone, as to just how much of a retard (for want of a better word) I come over as. Some progress has been made on that front I must admit.

Elocution lessons are all up the spout if the test is to converse with a computer.

You're fine as you are :-)
