Panicked
I might have told this before elsewhere.One summer day last year, a Malaysian friend who was then living in a flat ('apartment' for non-british) in Edgware Road, Central London spotted smoke coming from a flat below his. It was mid-morning in this rather affluent neighbourhood mainly dwells by Arabs.
Instantaneously, without any hesitation, he leaned out from his window and shouted on top of his lung:
FIRE!!!! FIRE!!!!
CALL BOMBA !!!! CALL BOMBA !!!!!
