When I heard him
struggle
to speak French,
I thought: “My French,

is better than that”.

Hahaha, Peter! Been there/thought that! ... Just glad I wasn't foolish enough to say, 'May I be of help? '

Oh, I'm laughing Pete! So true. My favourite is when you see people shouting slowly at someone who can't speak English, as if that's going to help somehow! J'adore. Hugs (from a terrible French speaker) Anna xxx
