How To Speak Chinese Hu Yu Hai Ding? (Who are you hiding)
I have an old friend called Chris Pett. We have lost touch, I suspect that he has done a Lord Lucan and gone into hiding. Just in case there is another Chris Pett, my friend answers to Eri Stalis. Before he disappeared from my radar, Chris used to be a frequent flier.
I heard from an airport insider in Jersey that Chris single-handedly caused a change in policy for Airport announcements. The reason was that he was for ever going to the information desk and asking them to tannoy messages for people with the names like this: Lei Ying Lo (Lying Low). Then one day the penny dropped, the messages, like the people, were pure fiction.
It helps if you say each one out loud.
