Beware. I speak a smidgin of Swedish and in Istanbul I once told a carpet seller who asked if I was English that I was Swedish (Ja ar ifron Sverige)
He proceeded to try to flog me carpets in perfect Swedish.

In Athens with a Belgian colleague, who was local manager.
Driving little car, who knows where in the town.
Colleague takes a turn wrong way
into a one way street. Lots of " locals do it all the time " " it's a handy short cut" etc
Arrive at the end and a policeman steps out of a shop doorway and stops us.
My colleague winks and sort of implies "watch this"
Winds down the window and greets the policeman in his best Flemish.
The policeman sort of gives a shrug and wry grin and replies in equally fluent Flemish.
Turns out the cop's mother was Flemish and his father Greek.

I'm pretty sure I've recounted the following before but good enough to repeat.
There was a rather larger than life and physically large and pompous lecturer in university who answered the door in his string vest and braces, rather like Rab C Nesbit. "We'd like to talk to you about Jehovah". "Oh, you silly little man, I AM JEHOVAH!". The poor JW ran away.
(To be fair I have heard another version of the first story where the conversation goes "We're collecting for Jehovah" "I am Jehovah, how much have we got" attributed to an unrelated academic)
This next one is true. Some JW types called at a friend's place and she was politely trying to fob them off saying she was just going out and there was no one else home, when a load shout came from her boyfriend in the back room "Tell 'em to fark off"

An ex-colleague used the line "Well, I mustn't let you keep me" - ostensibly polite until you think it through!
My sister, on the other hand, dealt with marketing types in the street by smiling sweetly, and saying in her best RP accent "I'm sorry, I don't speak English." It usually confused them long enough for her to get away.

They don't bother around here, Labour has a 40,000 majority. That's more than all of the votes for the other candidates put together.
