  Did the young man speak English?

• 00:19

  I had an amusing experience last year.

• 00:23

  After I had left a small village in the south of France,

• 00:29

  I drove on to the next town.

• 00:32

  On the way, a young man waved to me.

• 00:37

  I stopped and he asked me for a lift.

• 00:41

  As soon as he had got into the car,

• 00:44

  I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.

• 00:51

  Apart from a few words,

• 00:54

  I do not know any French at all.

• 00:57

  Neither of us spoke during the journey.

• 01:09

  As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
