  • The English we speak from BBCLearningEnglish.com hi, Finn.

  • What's that you reading?

  • Oh, it's just a really interesting article about a man who made a fortune by selling shoes.

  • Fei Fei.

  • You know, he's a billionaire.

  • Billionaire?

  • I guess the shoes must be very expensive for the upper classes.

  • No, not at all.

  • The shoes are just for Joe Bloggs.

  • Joe Bloggs?

  • He made all that money making shoes for just one man?

  • No, what I mean is the man made a fortune selling shoes for the average person.

  • In English, when we want to refer to the average person, we can use the name Joe Bloggs.

  • Ah, I see.

  • So Joe Bloggs could be any one of us.

  • That's right.

  • Any Tom, Dick or Harry.

  • Oh.
