Roles reversed

I was in the Chinese grocery shop in town and the proprietor was chatting to another customer about one of his products (in Mandarin, of course). They talked about how this particular type was very popular with the 老外 (foreigners). I piped up, since I couldn’t resist:

“在英国你是老外!”
(Translation: In Britain, you’re the foreigners!)

Hopefully he’ll still sell me udon, 白粿 (large flat rice noodles), and 小笼包 (these small meat buns Neil loves) in future.
