I managed, today, during a phone call to France, to explain, in French, that I did not speak French and would be grateful if I could be transferred to an operator who could speak English.

When I say 'in French', it was almost worthy of Allo Allo, but the message was understood :)

Have a good one

I take a particularly petty and small minded joy in pulling up right on the dashed double white lines at give way near my house, thus forcing other drivers to actually stay on their side of the road.


Works both ways. If someone looks like they'll hold back at a junction like that and cut me ...
