[T 14.3]. Yes, I’ve lived in a foreign country. In Japan, actually. I Lived in Osaka for a year. I enjoyed it very much. I loved the food. And, yes, I have worked for a big company. I worked for Nissan, the car company, that’s why I was in Japan. That was two years ago, then I got another job. Have I stayed in an expensive hotel? No, never – only cheap hotels for me, I’m afraid, but I have flown in a jumbo jet – four or five times, actually. Oh, I’ve never cooked a meal for a lot of people. I love food but I don’t like cooking, sometimes I cook for me and my girlfriend but she likes it better if we go out for a meal! And I’ve never met a famous person – oh, just a minute, well not met but I’ve seen… er… I saw a famous politician at the airport once – Oh, who was it? I can’t remember his name. Er… I’ve only seen one Shakespeare play, when I was at school, we saw Romeo and Juliet. It was OK. I’ve driven a tractor though, I had a holiday job on a farm when I was 17. I enjoyed that. Good news – I’ve never been to hospital. I was born in hospital, of course, but that’s different. Bad news – I’ve never won a competition. I do the lottery every week but I’ve never, ever won a thing!
