    When I was living in the Alps, we were warned not to ask a Chasseur Alpin how far anything was. They answer in time not distance - but they also do not walk, they trot! Their "deux heures" can turn into four or five.

    I like the directions you get given in rural France -

    oh yes, go on down the road, turn left at Therèse's house, go on til you get to where the bread shop used to be and it's on your right. If you get to Marcel's, you've gone too far.

    Completely impossible if you haven't lived in the village for less than 20 years.

    Nothing so underlines that Bretons and Cornish are siblings as their attitude to 'emmets' and incomers.

    Ooooopppsss! I forgot to make the type bigger in my last post. I've started doing that now because I'm 40 now and old and everything.

    Perhaps I should bold the type, too? For those of you (Fede) who are really old?

    Yes, this 51 year old is finding size 1 a bit of a problem, especially in long posts

    It's nice to be the youngster on a forum for once, except for KoB of course. Still, in Army years, I'm old.
