Boy oh Boy do I love people with French accents!
You're now saying to yourself hat do you mean about this John?
Well this afternoon at Parramatta train station, I was speaking to a young man who had just arrived in Australia on a working visa and as I was promoting our group to him, a french accent came out. Well my limited french language came out and he understood. Then as the Mount Druitt train arrived, I asked where was he living - he said Surry Hills! Well that was good until he was pointing his fingers in a westerly direction. As I asked where out west he was going he looked stunned and said Surry Hills - so I quickly advised him he needed to go to platform 1 (opposite platform 2 where we were standing)!
He politely thanked myself as he realised he was heading the wrong direction and left for platform one as his train was also nearing there. Well I did a good deed for some one! I'm glad that h didn't hop on and realised in Penrith, he was going the wrong direction - then would have been too late!
