Humbug…
Grandaughter to her Spanish speaking boyfriend (19): What on earth did you say to Granny that she’s so offended with you? She’s sitting there doing her knitting, tight-lipped, refusing to say anything and looking disapproving about something…
Spanish speaking boyfriend, keen to learn English but possibly still needing help with his pronunciation (20): I have no idea. She offered me one of her special English Callard & Bowser mint humbugs, and I thought it polite to suggest she join me in one too, and I just said “You must have one - Gracias”.
