In a lovely hotel, we have our Saturday into Sunday stay, and at lunch we walk along to the restaurant, we task a seat and are asked by a (not so good at speaking English) man what drink we'd like. Mother wants a fizzy orange (not problem) and i ask for a milkshake and in his unweary speaking the man starts to list strawberry, pineapple, berrie, wanilla.
I really genuinely think whats winilla, is that a fruit.
"Winilla, winilla?"
The man says yes and i order that, coming to the table was a vanilla milkshake. It then occurs to me that the Sri Lankan people have a funny way of saying stuff, how embarrassing !! - oops
