Just about everyone I met under about thirty in Bombay spoke some
English,
including kids working in cheap restaurants, who are, as you're
probably
aware, just in from the villages and making their way for the first
time.


"Some English" doesn't really count. Give these acquaintances of yours a
TOEIC and you may be surprised.


What the hell is a TOEIC?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
