Misunderstanding

On a recent sortee to the Lakeland fells, the Grand Mahout and Cool DL spotted this little fella, casually making his way up the hill to meet them. The Cool DL, without the able assistance of the Cultural Attache, made an unforgiveable blunder, and assumed that this chap was an envoy from their next destination. Cool DL's attempt at the mother tongue, ' Oh la la, 'allo, 'ow are yooo?' was met impassively. 'Avez-vous une cuppa?' was similarly dismissed. Methinks we may have to reconsider giving the Cool DL a significant role in PR on our Southern Scotland trip, and possibly just put him in charge of the pies.
