I didn't have a beret. I had a white cricket hat. Actually I didn't see a beret all the time I was there. But a whole lot of smoking. You can't imagine a Frenchman who isn't smoking. Outside the cafes they are all giving the Gauloise a hammering. ANOTHER THING YOU CAN GET ONLY WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY IS BROWN BREAD. i'M HAPPY WITH MY BAGUETTE BUT dOREEN SOUGHT IN VAIN HER HEALTHY BROWN.
And nobody in a supermarket has any idea where anything is. But these are details. I could live in the Ardeche if I had I lifeline to my cricket matches. Of course they do speak French. But it's not a bad language. Becket wrote Waiting for Godot on French. Did you know that? Then wrote it in English. Or was it the other way round.
Sorry about the caps.This computer does that.
French teenagers don't get piss drunk every night. Perhaps they do in Paris but not where I was. And there are NO FAT PEOPLE. But I said that before.
Not that I'm fattist. I'm a fat person myself. But we've gone too far in the UK. Do you know there was a guy last week died of cirrhosis (wjhich you get by too much boozing) at 22 years old!!! He'd started on the hard stuff wjhen he was THIRTEEN. I know American boys shoot guns at that age but shooting guns is better. Imagine.The fellow was a lush at fourteen and dead at twenty-two. I need to go and lie down
La France for ever! Pity they don't play cricket. They'd be good at it. Particularly spin bowling.
