Day 1: Lost in translation

Exile #2 related the following conversation she had with one of the lovely people who did a wonderful job of preparing our new home for us. They were concerned that we had not been well advised about the things we should have done prior to our departure.

Finally:
- Did you get your documents translated?
- Translated?
- Yes, the authorities won't really deal with anything that's not in English
- Oh [struggle to keep a straight face] that's OK, they're in English

We just moved here from England what did you expect?
