I was looking for something in my grocery cupboard the other day when I found a packet of Atora Suet, now I use this to make my dumplings, of which Himself is very fond. I was reminded of when I was in England visiting my parents. I always come back with my suitcase packed with edibles, all my favourite things that are unavailable here. Now you can get Atora here, but as it’s so cheap there I decided to buy a couple of packets.
So there we were in the supermarket, my parents were doing their shopping and I was searching the unfamiliar aisles for the Atora……seeing me hunting up & down, my father asked me what I was looking for, “Atora” I replied. “Oh I know where that is” he said, and he strode off purposefully……I scurried along behind him, then I noticed he was heading out of the shop. “dad where are are we going?” I asked, dad looked at me in a puzzled way and said “you wanted the toilet?!”
Well that was me finished! I packed up laughing, my poor dad had misheard me, & he had to suffer my infantile giggling for the rest of the day, needless to say I took great delight in telling him that I was going to the Atora at every given opportunity!

I always found it funny that the people with the hardest to undersatnd English accents are the English themselves.
