Well, no-one's perfect, and it would only take that momentary glazed-eye look to ensure the question was reiterated in English (and whatever other language was to hand if that didn't work). Sometimes I can't decide which language to use and reply in German to an English question, especially if I'm working and reading German stuff.

Does this happen to you much? It doesn't boil my urine but I'll watch more carefully in future, purely out of curiosity.

The CC get my name right, but it's German as well as English, so if it's passed on orally amongst themselves, they'll assume that Hr Schicklgruber in 9A is German-speaking.

Mind you, I would be taken aback if SQ CC addressed me in Mandarin
