Default New Sub-forum

The tea room idea seems to have hit a nerve - thanks to all those who sent me pm's as well as posting on the forum.
As the forum has grown quite a bit over the last year or so, many feel it's now time to have a sub-forum, along the lines of the Siesta time in the Spanish forum or The Maple Leaf in the Canadian one.
Do we need to have a survey to decide? If so, I will set it up.
Also, what will we call it? Had some good suggestions - again, do we need a survey?
I just think The Tea Room sounds a bit too English for a french forum.
Some of the idea's have been great, other's sent to me include
apres-midi, bonne journee, bon soiree (sorry, haven't got a french keyboard for accents!)
any other ideas/suggestions?

It's not so easy to come up with a name, but how about

"The Entente Cordiale" or

"Le petit paradis", or

"Our Jardin d'hiver", or even something ridiculous like

"Get your rosbif here",

I dunno, really!!

L'heure du thé?
Le five-o'clock? (what the French call tea-time)
But any mention of the time might give the impression that the forum isn't open 24 hrs.

I like that, sounds french, but everyone should know what it means.
What do the rest of you think?
