My View. Let's See Yours

[Wansworth]

Soon as I asked for a plate of chips (in my best French) the waiter instantly switched to English.....anyone who wants chips with everything can only be English

Find that slightly annoying as it’s normally a contest who thinks they are speaking a foreign language better than the foreigner.I now immediately switch to English as a goodwill token but sometimes it leads to confusion as in this case ASpaniard has even worse vocabulary than me…if you see what I mean

It’s a problem when talking to someone when I want to practice my French and they want to practice their English

Having listened to Bouba mangling the French language asking for a decaffeinated coffee I expect the waiter thought " If I speak in English perhaps he will reply in English and we will both understand each other"

Doesn't appear to work with his posts on here....

Contrary to popular belief, it's not always sunny and warm in the South of France.





And this is how the plebs have lunch.

The Culatra anchorage is almost empty, resulting in The Table of Infinite Wisdom having a distinct lack of wisdom. Oh dear!

It's a brave/stupid man who admits having done something like this.

I hope that you did not make your poor woofer eat a veggie burger as well?
