Wait until those children get away from their parents. French schoolchildren are notorious for being obnoxious - and for shoplifting.

My mother used to regularly get called by the police to attend the station to translate when the 'little darlings' got nicked for thieving from M&S (bizarrely M&S always seemed to get hit badly) and suddenly decided they didn't speak any English. She didn't get called to translate for German or Spanish kids...

Was that because she doesn't speak German or Spanish?

I dunno, that O is more of an A in German. I might substitute for an umlauted U. otherwise people might be thinking Rich is referring to Reg's personal hygiene.

Ah, it's a beautiful language though, isn't it? Surely the ambiguity only adds to its romance.
