I must admit to being instantly charmed on holiday the other week when someone said "Gruss Gott, may we share your table" (the second bit in German, but I'm not going to look it up - it was obvious in context!). It was an odd "Ooh! proper foreign country" moment - like an American shop assistant saying "Have a nice day"!
