Not tricky at all - the original was somewhat ambiguous. I mean it about the English though - it must help when learning French equivalent language structures if you're clear about the structure of the English original. Does that make sense?

Thanks all. Now I can email our French neighbours and tell them about our latest arrival here in the UK. Aaaah. And thanks to Dick for reminding me that I should probably be brushing up my English as well as my French.

Crikey. Had to think about that one for a moment. In the compound noun sense I guess; a 'rescue dog' as in 'an abandoned dog obtained from kennels handling such animals'. I'm at work - you can't expect me to think!

Does anyone know the French expressions for 'rescue dog' and 'rescue kennels'? Thanks  

Could you use a magnet?

Would these be holes around 1 inch diameter, going down not quite vertical? We've got quite a few in our lawn, and apart from a small toad living in one of them we've never seen anything and wondered what had made them.

Grade 'B' in the A level. Just 2 points off an 'A', but I won't ask for a re-mark in case it goes down.

"Alter", with occasional "Hyper" lapses.

I'm sure you'll be fine. When I did my AS level oral I thought it was abysmal, but I passed. I have my A level oral this evening. Fingers crossed.
