Having said all that, I was in the hotel restaurant in the Novotel at Heathrow last week and I was chatting to the Chinese restaurant manager, she told me

"Ahhhh worrrr heeeee ten yeeeaa nehhhs weeec"

Translation: "I've worked here ten years next week"

I thought "Sorry, love? You've worked in this restaurant 10 years serving English speaking customers and I'm still straining to understand a word you say? That's just sheer laziness!"
