The usual lassie that does my hair has moved barbers and is now charging £25 for a skin fade and whilst although I'm affluent, is taking the piss and her second in command at the regular barbers is fully booked from 9am tomorrow until 3pm so I'll have to forgo my usual trim and wait another week.

I got B at Higher French but didn't speak it for years. Went to buy a train ticket in Paris and asked for one in fairly basic French and the ticket seller rattled off what I presume were all the permutations in reply. Me "Ahh ..oui"

Mind you it's amusing at Festival time when tourists get on the bus and ask the driver something in basic English only to get a full reply in basic Leithese
