[00:13.12]
Did the young man speak English?[00:18.85]
I had an amusing experience last year.[00:23.25]
After I had left a small village in the south of France,[00:28.72]
I drove on to the next town.[00:32.44]
On the way, a young man waved to me.[00:36.70]
I stopped and he asked me for a lift.[00:40.84]
As soon as he had got into the car,[00:43.89]
I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.[00:51.26]
Apart from a few words,[00:53.53]
I do not know any French at all.[00:56.86]
Neither of us spoke during the journey.[01:00.78]
I had nearly reached the town,[01:03.71]
when the young man suddenly said, very slowly,[01:09.35]
'Do you speak English?'[01:14.87]
As I soon learnt,[01:16.75]
he was English himself!
