I was at my sister's the other week, near Edinburgh, and we went to a cafe,
where I ordered two teas, a cake and a sandwich.
"What, please?" said the man behind the counter.
I repeated my order several times, until eventually we got something to eat
and drink.
"Another Pole," said my sister in irritation.
He didn't look or sound Polish, I told her.
"That's what we call them. Who cares where they're from?"
So check out next year's dictionaries:
"Pole (noun): any foreigner on the minimum wage who doesn't understand
anything."
