Intro

Mitch

[0:22]Hi everybody, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Long time, no see. It's been a while.

Isi

[0:29]I think we said we leave this welcome.

Mitch

[0:34]I'm still petitioning for it.

Isi

[0:37]Okay, hello.

Mitch

[0:40]So, today we're back in Brighton, from Münster. And as we've come over, I've already started noticing certain things, that us Brits do quite differently to the rest of Europe. And, one thing that we do, which is probably useful for you guys, whether you are coming to the UK as a tourist, whether you want to move to the UK, or maybe you're just working for a company and there are certain Brits there, maybe your boss is a British person, or your colleagues. Or maybe you just want to... - Your boss. - Your a boss.

Isi

[1:18]Your boss is a British person. That sounded a bit like, intimidating.

Mitch

[1:20]Yeah exactly

Isi

[1:22]But don't be. British bosses, hopefully, are all nice.

Mitch

[1:25]Well, funny you say that. Because, maybe your boss says certain things and the reaction or action, afterwards, is very different from what they're saying. Isi, you bring this up quite a lot, that Brits like to say things, which don't exactly reflect what they mean.
