Uuuum nah but perhaps the fact you spoke Philipino confused them??

Cargirl, it was so funny how they spelled my name and put Phillipino for my nationality. My name and nationality were typed correctly on the accompanying document, and my pic was located right above it. I don't think I look remotely Phillipino either Somehow they still manage to get it wrong...

I was keen to keep it more general - besides, what's wrong with the driving standards of us Brits??
