‘ie (nie)” {saying, “Oh no, we don’t know what you are talking about”} but hulle gat (gaan)
maar aan met hulle, hulle {they go on with their, their}… But this is radio so you can’t
explain really how some members of the tour asked for a cup of coffee cos they don’t know
the French word for café {coffee}. Mmm, but, be that as it may, we gonna have a lotta
anecdotes about things and also reveal some secrets about some people.
