    Just as an aside, because I don't know french, but there's a couple of good sites where you can learn other languages, and native speakers of that language will mark your work and give you feedback. The idea being that in return, you do the same for others who are learning your language.

          Can't help with the French bit but that opinion goes back a long way. I used to have this 1927 record :old:

            I suspect that it goes right back to the first French neanderthal, shiney, it's pretty well ingrained:biggrin:

              @noisette47

              A little French help again if I may. Can you tell me how to say:

              Can I try these on? (in a shop, before buying a pair of trousers or a shirt).

              Thanks
              GG

                  Thanks for that Woo, are you a fluent French speaker?
                  I found similar to what you put with an online translator. In my experience they are very hit and miss and can at times be wildly wrong. Though my French is pretty good I still get stuck here and there, this particular translation didn't feel quite right to me so thought I'd double check.

                  btw, your garden is looking really nice I saw on another thread, how is your Garrya coming along, settling in I hope?

                  Cheers
