I can see a southerner from the US speaking this story but one problem is you used the "verandah"
it is more of an australian word
then after that it starts to sound more australian with the fish and chip shop and all
I found it interesting that at the beginning that he said that he spoke to people but never saying any words
then near the end he spoke
maybe one day I shall place a story here on my posts
