Forum O. G.
A friend of mine from Portsmouth came up to Dudley some years ago and stayed in a guest-house whilst he did some training as a cinema projectionist.
He struggled to understand the landlady and both of them were getting thoroughly fed up with not being able to get the gist of what was said the first, or even the second time.
On the last day, he came down for breakfast and sat at the table. He heard her come in the door behind him and call him a "shitty shithouse".
Slightly taken aback by this, he was trying to collect his thoughts as his breakfast was placed in front of him - then he realised that she had actually said "Here's your tea and here's your toast".
