Not me but it was funny as owt .... for me anyway. We we're at Center Parcs in the Lakes a few year ago and I was getting an ice cream for me and the little un. The lad serving us made Gary Bennett look pale. There was a 60 year old (ish) fella beside us, next in the queue and he said to the lad "Where are you from?". The kid was concentrating on not dropping my mint choc chip scoop (the bairn had hers) and looked at the bloke as if he'd heard something but wasn't sure. So the fella repeated himself in slow, loud, and very distinct tones whilst leaning forward slightly, as is compulsory when addressing a person assumed to be from elsewhere, "W h e r e a r e Y o u (points at the kid) f r o m (does a circle movement with his finger) ?" The kid looked at him, then me while handing me my ice cream, then back at the bloke, smiled, and said "Carlisle !"
