I met a young Brit of Sudanese origin during one of my projects recently. He was there as a translator (Arabic to English) for representatives from our client's side - one French, one Egyptian (he didn't need translation), two Koreans and one American.
This young man did his job well, except for the fact that his 'P's were replaced by 'B's and vice-versa.
So when I called him to find out where he was, he told me, "I am barking".
Later during the interview he was translating (which was about banking), he kept referring to Banks as Panks.
The client didnt mind because he had a strong British accent.
