Little Ms Driving Test.

This was it. The big day. Well... not really THE big day... more of the 1st course before the main meal...



Anywho, 30th Dec 2008, Jean was getting ready to take her driving theory test, the test she had spent liturally HOURS preparing for. Tense. Dave had tagged along for moral support, but it would all come down to her.



She approached the reception.



"Driving license please," said the lady. She then turned to Dave, "Can you have your's ready?"



"Oh no," said Dave, "I'm with her, I'll leave in a sec."



From this point on both of the receptionists seemed to assume Dave was some kind of translator and EVERY word they spoke was directed at him... Jean's flawless use of English throughout strangely did not alter this initial mistaken assumption.



"We can have the test spoken in Cantonese if she would like?"



"No," said Jean, "I don't speak Cantonese, do you have Manderin?"



"No, sorry, we have Cantonese...?"



"No, it's fine, English is fine."



"Here's a list of the languages available. Cantonese?"



Jean looked briefly at the list, "no Manderin."



"No. But we have Cantonese."



"She doesn't speak Cantonese," Dave tried to explain, "China has two languages..."



"English is fine," said Jean happily.



"Sure? We have Cantonese?"



On hindsight, someone really should have asked this guy if HE spoke English...



Crunch time. Dave left, Jean entered.



She was shown to a little table, simple layout, computer screen, mouse, headphones and small walls to seperate her from the others on computers either side. The test began.



"What should you do..."



etc etc



"A, B, A, D, C, not sure... C?..." 50 multiple choice questions, 43 correct answers needed for the pass.



Jean's mind began to wander..., 'Dave is so great.... I love Dave... so handsome...such big... eyes....'

(Note: May not have happened, but a guy can dream...)



'Stay focused Jean, B, C, not sure... A?,...'
