"Are you all right, my dear?" Hmm. "You're doing great, my dear." Sure. "Oh, does that hurt? I'm sorry, my dear."
Does this sound like Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances or some other typical British lady to you? Or maybe even queen Elizabeth?
Well...the above statements were made by a man with a long, rather wild beard. During daytime he wears a white coat and safety goggles. He is our -very sympathetic- dentist. Originally born in Pakistan, but raised in England he sounds more British than most Britons. And every other sentence he says something like: "Are you all right, my dear?" Being in a dentist’s chair, there’s not much left to do then just nod. Apart from that, he talks a lot: about Dubai, about other dentists but also about his favorite football players and his children. But he also asks many questions, so for the next patients he will have enough new material to chat about...
Welcome to Dubai, melting pot of cultures and nationalities!
