…so here’s my piece for Friday Fictioneers.
..
Lovely street food, Paul
Let’s have a bit, Bert.
‘Scuse me miss. She’s tasty, isn’t she Paul?
Behave, Bert! We’ll have some of this, them, those, these and that one please, miss.
I fancy a bit of the other….
Bert, what did I say?
…one Paul, the other one.
How much, miss?
H̄nụ̀ng phạn h̄nụ̀ng r̂xy h̄nụ̀ng bāth khrạb
How many Bahts Bert?
1101, Paul.
How much is that in real money Bert?
Twenty-five pounds eighty-eight pence precisely Paul.
Right, tuck in. This is nice, they’re okay, that one’s horrid…
I still fancy a bit of the other…
Bert!
…one Paul, the other one.

I made a slight change to the story after I did the audio and I didn’t have the patience to re-record it, sorry!
.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Brenda Cox for the photo.
Prod the Froggies to join in the fun!
Very authentic story Keith. Better do something about your friend! 😅

Bert had best watch out, you never know who is listening in, and it might be a jealous husband!

An amusing story, Keith, well seasoned with humor (of course). Yes, I had to look up the Brit idiom. Now I shall never forget it. 🙂

Thanks Bill. I got the impression that some of the previous commenters hadn’t got it, so I’ve now added an explanation at the top!

Dear Keith,
Whimsical banter. I can see Bert getting into trouble if the local ladies understood him.
Shalom,

great humour of Bert and Paul on holiday. I wonder if food is the only thing they are after. Bert has a mind like a calculator and he speaks the lingo perhaps he has decided to live there.

Maybe he has! Cheers, James.

Bert had better watch out. On the other hand he does seem pretty good at currency conversion.

Bert has a one-track mind, it seems. Good things he understands that language and the rate of exchange 🙂

That’s what Paul thought, he should have let him finish the sentence!

Humorous banter between two friends. Paul needs to let Bert finish, though. I think there’s some misunderstanding happening here. 🙂

Amusing. I am glad that locals do not understand their language.
