    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    why not just do as most Brit's do and that is to shout really loudly at them in English!, if that doesn't work also remind them who won the flippin war for them that should do it!!!, oh and also while your at it tell them that eating horses is a tad barbaric for a so called western civilisation in the 21st century.

    Hi Tonesp

    I was interested to know what the translation was, thank you for letting me know. :) My comment was not meant to be taken seriously either. :)

    Hi BC :)

    No worries, it is harmless banter. I was interested to know what the translation was as I used to enjoy learning French and German, a very long time ago. :)

    Gentle hugs

    Hi Guys

    amazed at what a clever bunch we all are

    Elna though does indeed win the gold star....

    cris came close but i dont think they speak cornish in france.... :?

    I managed with the 'ne mange le viande' malarky....and DD's too. They were so kind and helpful - as Elna said they DO like their meat over there :shock:

    I managed and have lost no weight but gained a lovely tan :D

    Than you all for your help

    love

    Toni xx

    Elna likes this :) Thank you Toni, pleased to be of some help, did not like to think that your holiday would be marred because of being veggie.

    Hi Toni

    Nice to see you to see you nice!

    They love their spuds in France. When i left my cold potatoes the chef gave me a frightening stare....how dare you! he couldnt believe it! I cant do cold spuds.

    I hope you enjoyed the lovely croissants and bread!

    The help WAS appreciated Elna :D

    Elizabeth I LOVED the croissants!! Ate two a day :oops: With butter AND marmalade :shock:

    They do love their meat but was fine - luckily I like ptaotoes and if I dont my stepdaughter eats potatoes till they come out of her ears!

    You can 'borrow' her next time you go :wink:

    Love
