I worked for a year in the entertainment department on Queen Mary 2. On one voyage there was one French family who were very pleasant. So I attempted to be a Good Employee greeted them at the door of the theatre one evening with a cheery "Bon soir!", as per my GCSE French.

The following seconds were exceptionally awkward, as I had no idea what they replied with.

I learned a lesson that day.
