clive, are you native speaker? if you are and not sure which one is correct, i think she can use both. question no.2, are you american? because you didn;t say that she has just asked you...is it correct in american english to use past simple with just for something that has just happened?

Hi Beatrix,

Yes, I'm a native speaker and British. It sounds fine to me, although maybe i just watch too many American films

Thanks for the input on the question. As the others have stated, I guess it can depend on what you want to emphasise.

Incidentally, how about you? Where are you from? What do you do?
