No, and I am not particularly interested. If people who Post statements on this site are not prepared to read remarks which are unfavourable to them then don't bother! As for your remarks in "that" language I'm afraid it fell on "not deaf ears" but "blind eyes". This site I thought is for peoples' opinions.
(How did you read the replies, if you are blind?) Don't bother chasing Novo for a while. I strongly suspect that he is watching the soccer. Possibly in English but maybe in French, German or another vile language that he may speak. I am done working for the day. I'm going to relax in my garden with my cat. I have to talk to her in English, because she's from Ottawa. Her French is awful. No understanding whatsoever of the subjunctive tense. |

It's not really bi-lingual at all Souvy. There are areas that are mostly French, like Dieppe, near Moncton, and lots of the Arcadian peninsula and then areas that are totally English. I know several companies in Fredericton that speak mostly French, but they are few and far between. They 'teach' proper French in my son's French school, but in the playground the kids speak mostly English I believe or some dreadful mixture, which my son says is 'langue populaire'!
My missus is from Montreal's south shore. She struggles to understand Acadians! |

Don't tempt me! How pleasurable that would be, but alas my flights are cheaper so I guess I'll just have to stock up on Ear Plugs!

I don't think that can be true. It was cheaper for me to drive to Detroit from Toronto and fly from there than it was to go from Toronto. If you have to fly to Toronto and connect it'll certainly be cheaper to go from Detroit. Are you sure you don't like to be 'aving your ears tickled by un peu de franglais?
Toronto and then get the connection from Toronto to LHR. They were going on a cruise picking up the boat in Southampton so there you have it. |
