I was a girl so the main role open to me was nurse.

Hahaha. Oh that takes me back. Playing Star Wars with my friends and being the only girl ........the amount of times I ended up being Princess Bloody Leah ( or however it's spelt) waiting for Luke Bloody Skywanker to "come and rescue me"........
Anyway.....yes...the French. I had a nice time in France. The people were lovely and made my ex and me very welcome. I had just a few words remembered from my french lessons in school but the fact that I made an effort to communicate in French seemed to endear me to the people I met, so that often I was given a little impromptu lesson and left the shop or cafe wiser to the language than when i had entered.
Not everyone had the patience to deal with the badly spoken tourist but most did.
I think of France and Germany ( and the other European nations but mainly those two) as being inextricably linked with Britain. We are each other's history.
