What you say may all be true, Brian. I don't care if it is. The French have got it all RIGHT! Their way of life is just so wonderful and they have it all over there - the weather, the produce, the wine. Two hours for lunch. Laissez-faire (is that how you spell it) The Art, the buildings, oh wonderful! I would buy a house over there tomorrow if only I could speak enough French to get by. Because we are all European now, I could go and live in France with no problem. C'est la vie! > Lovely, I like a bit of Swede.

"LAZY FAIRIES" is nearer the mark and you don't need to speak French when you get there, you just pick it up as you go along. The locals will help you if they know you are really interested in learning - unless you're too old to learn. Anyway, those foreigners should speak English! C'est la vie INDEED. Or c'est la guerr [is that right?].
