    In corner shop in Tooting with a NZ friend who wanted to buy clothes pegs, he asked the Pakistani shop owner if he had any, of course when he was saying pegs it sounded like pigs, so after asking several times for what sounded like closed pigs and my friend making gestures like he’s pegging something to a line the shop owner was getting visibly angry and nearly pushed him out of the shop while shouting in another language. My friend was totally confused until I told him it was his accent that caused the poor shop owner to nearly explode. I nearly burst my sides laughing

    A friend from Auckland asked another male friend if he would like a minstril once……it didn’t sound like minstril. Safe to say he politely refused.
