Subject: Thanks! Do you think this would be different if it happened in England? Or is it the same there? I'm just wondering because my english teacher never said anything about this when I used to go to school.

Tricky one. The chances are the maid might not be a native English speaker, so who knows? If I knew the person was a native it wouldn't be a problem, but since the misunderstanding's on the part of the listener in this case,I think PJ's solution sounds safer. Or make it clearer - poor you, having to clear up all this mess.
