If you'd asked for that in the US you would get fish with crisps.

C'est un scandale! This guy must be fired right away with no prior notice.Working at a race track and not knowing Delta is an offense. C'est même une faute de goût sacrebleu.

Just out of my curiosity what means "I am a cornish"? Related to location, food or Rolls Royce?

Surely it refers to a road or path that runs along the coast as in places like the French Riviera.

As a great lover of most cheeses, I still find the concept of cheddar coming from Cornwall slightly odd - but then I am still reeling from a recent item on the news that informed me that the threats of Brexit disruption meant our cheddar supplies from France would be at risk.......


Why on earth would we be importing Cheddar from France? Plenty of French cheeses I'm happy to consume, bien sur

I don't believe the French make cheddar. They apparently don't consider it to be cheese. So probably just another scare story.

I'm now concerned as my favorite Smirnoff Vodka that is produced in Italy is temporarily unavailable from Amazon, no doubt stuck in a queue of trucks on the A16 outside Calais.

Its easy, Richard. An example just invented for you.
Par un beau jour de décembre, cet enjôleur décida de mener une enquête qui pouvait tourner Ã* la quête de vérité. Il entra dans le bâtiment pour constater les dégâts provoqués par la chute du pylône qui fit tomber le poêle, poussé par un vif intérêt. Il se sentit benêt en tombant tête bêche avec un aîné blottit dans une alcôve…
Only three words ending with -itre have a ^on the i like huître! Next please!
