A brit tourist walks into a boulangerie-patisserie (baker's and cake shop) in rural France and asks for a Gattox.
The assistant, not understanding much english, can't even explain that she doesn't understand. After some embarrassing minutes of this guy doing the typically brit thing, repeating again and again and again, each time L-O-U-D-E-R and S-L-O-W-E-R, " I WANT A GATTOX" ,another bilingual customer walks in, twigs the situation and explains to him that his pronunciation is wrong.
"You want a cake - in French, the word is Gateaux, but the X on the end is silent, not pronounced".
The brit, now horribly embarrassed, says, "Oh Bollo"
