          Bonjour GG! Java&Me is spot on. If you want to be extra-polite, you'd say 'Pourrais-je etc. That's 'could I?' as opposed to 'can I?'
          Zigs, you're going to get yourself into all sorts of trouble if you cross the Channel:roflol:

            :nonofinger::roflol: A bit like a good friend who proudly tried out his newly-acquired French on a day trip. He thought that he was asking a question about his ticket.....until he was led into an interview room at Le Havre and given the third degree as to the reason he'd called the Douane a lady of the night.....

              Thanks for the replies which clarifies things. So essayer can be to try and to try on, I didn't know that. Perfect and very easy to use.

              Cheers
