For sure Joan, that conversation sure is slang in its worst form!
Having lived in Durban since primary school, I find it difficult to speak pure Afrikaans so often throw in an English word here and there, but I've had to brush up on my Afrikaans as some of my Pretoria and Cape Town guests speak pure Afrikaans!
Living in Durban we do tend to lose touch in Afrikaans, I still speak to my sons clients, nothing like I did when speaking it more regularly where we grew up. Ironically schooling years my Afrikaans pass mark normally exceeded my English, our slang I doubt any of us lose somehow across all the languages!
