Thread Name: BS: translation to French needed
Subject: RE: BS: translation to French needed
I can speak perfect French:
"Do 'ave a Dubonnet" (that dates me...)
Or even more French:
"Dubo Dubon Dubonnet"
My very first attempt at French, on my own aged 15 at a kiosk at the Gare du Nord, was completely successful:
"Vingt Royales et une boîte des allumettes, s'il vous plaît..." said I with quavering voice.
I got the fags and matches and, to my utter amazement, the bloke didn't even lift an eyebrow at my accent.
