I was so impressed with your French in the other thread today....the above is all I remember of our French lessons apart from (and I have no idea how to spell it) Bon joure mes enfants. (teacher)......Bon joure Mademoiselle (us) Asei avou (teacher) 'sit down'....it seems like another world now, but we actually stood up when the teacher came into the room! PLEASE excuse my spelling! |

I'm shocked  ! No wonder all the boys were so friendly  , OK, I did know what it meant, French or no French, it was an education in itself.
The only French I remember for real is Ferme ta bouche!, or shut your mouth.

I remember it Lyn, I often thought that it was a cruel thing to do 'Are you awake brother jack' 'Well, you dipstick I was enjoying a nice sleep until you woke me to ask me if I was awake - sod off!' |
