Corrected entry: Bridget is with Mark at a ski resort somewhere in Europe and visits a pharmacy to buy a pregnancy testing kit. In an attempt to make the situation humorous the shop assistants speak no English and can't understand what she is asking for. At a European ski resort populated with tourists, it is virtually inconceivable that not one of the shop assistants in a pharmacy spoke at least some limited English.

Correction: True, but if they were skiing in an Eastern European country such as Romania or Bulgaria it is quite common for people there not to speak any English, as I found out when I was there. Also, not many tourists request pregnancy testing kits either on holiday, so the English for that may not be recognised.
