One Flew East, One Flew West

Sometimes I think I'm in some sort of virtual Universe or maybe I'm just dreaming. Or maybe it's that thing where it's you that's crazy and not everyone around you!

So me and the Scot are on the bus chatting away - please note he is NOT Scouse so at this point I am talking quite nicely so he can understand everything I say (well at least 95%)

The man opposite, who seems to have his faculties about him and wasn't snorting coke out in the open like on last night's bus (yes we reached a new low people) - 'Where are you from?' 
The Scot - 'England' (it's easier. Where he is actually from is a longer conversation, certainly not one for the bus)
The man - 'What language is that you were speaking?'
Me - 'English'
Him - 'But you speak another language in England right?' 
Both of us - 'No, just English'
The man - 'But we speak English'
Me - 'Yes but English comes from England'
Him - 'But they told me you speak two languages in England'
The Scot - 'I definitely only speak one language'
The man - 'English? Really? I never knew that'

I swear sometimes I think I'll have to start making up things for this blog but nope I'll just carry on living my life!
