Sweet revenge

Last Tuesday I went to the bike repairer in Westermarkt, and tried to tell, in Dutch, that I had left my bike the day before to have it repaired.

The answer was "Could you speak English, please?"

Roles swapped. Eventually.

This says nothing about the quality of my Dutch, however.

And, yes, I went there because my bike had a flat tyre. Just for a change.
