Yep its a language problem that a lot of you must have suffered from and i just

had to pass this one on
I live in the UK in an area called "the Black country" because the soil is black from the amount of coal in the area. Now we have a very special local dialect.
If yow con spake it then as soon as yow opens yer gob every bugger knows wear yowm frum. its know as
"The Black country Gob" Or BCG for short
Ok you get the idea

The other friday Stan , my husband (aged 82) had to go and see the COPD specialist at our local hospital. No problem except we had to see a new doctor.
This turned out to be a young oriental gentleman who was trying to make sure he had covered all things he had been taught. All tests where done and then came the part when he asked hubby if he smoked, Stan admitted yes he did and then the Doctor asked him if he had considered stopping smokeing or at least cutting it down ( stan now smokes about 10 a day )
It was at this point that I with the BCG took over as i informed the Doctor that my husband had actually cut down on smoking and no longer smoked after 6.
The doctor stopped writing and looked up, "you say he no longer smokes after what?"
I repeated that Stan no longer smoked after six.
Oh! and how many has that reduced the amount in one day then ? he asked in a sarcastic manner.
"Oh about five". I replied.
There just happend to be a young nurse in the room to act as goffer who was starting to smirk. The doctor looked at Stan with a look of total amazement.
You are telling me your 82 year old husband who is suffering from COPD no longer smokes after six and that he has six five times a day ?????
The nurse was trying hard to not make a sound. Somewhere there had been a slight mix up in the translation of the dialect.
With a dead pan face i told the doctor that my husband did not in fact smoke after six in the evening. It was then that the three bars came up in his brain cell and he realised i did not say after SEX but after SIX.
please could someone high up give the oriental doctors a lesson in local dialect before they are let loose on us. I bet that young nurse will have a few drinks with that one.
just had to share, but why is it allways us? poor Stan.
