Re: chit chat
A real bit of Franglais
: bought a punnet of strawbs at the farm shop today. They are Dutch but looked nice anyway.
On the side of the plastic
box is a sticker in 4 languages which invites the purchaser to "Surf http://www.blahblahblah" and mentions "the tracking code".
The French version begins with the wonderful Franglais word "Surfez"
, and, better still, "le code de tracage".
I didn't get this in my school French lessons.
Wonderful - couldn't make it up
