mint Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 But, Banjoman, do you actually play the banjo?There's a joke I know that starts: Doctor, do I really have only 6 months to live? Is there anything I can do to prolong my life?Answer: Yes, get yourself a banjo player and live with him.Patient: Will I live longer then?Doctor: No, but it will seem like it!Sorry, Banjoman. Frenchie will understand because I pull her leg all the time. Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy our company as much as I am sure we will enjoy yours![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Can anyone tell me what the French is for"Can you give the check out girl your payment now and while she is processing it, you can can finish packing the rest of your stuff away, because I am tired of waiting for people to pack their stuff away and then take another ten minutes to make payment?"That would be very useful I think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Avery Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Just as an aside Leclerc are launching a new loyalty card, it will accumulate points from all of their outlets (same as the U card) and not be restricted to separate accounts at separate shops as now. You have to change over to the new card but not sure when the cut off date is. You can print off the form on line but not apply on line. The way credits are calculated will no longer be on value but on the number of items bought with a circular badge on them with exclusions such as for single bottles of milk and drinks, (a 6 pack counts as one purchase).How they are going to work it all out and accumulate the existing money credits from the different shops I don't know, I have "accounts" at five different shops, I suspect that when the new cards go in it will be best to "enlever" the credits from each outlet due to the new method of earning "cash back".

I always put my fruit and veg at the end so it takes them time to weigh everything. Gives me time to get payment ready and organise the rest of the food while payment goes through.Guess I'm too efficient and expect everyone else to be the same.Plus I hate shopping and Lynda doesn't have a licence so I have to do it and I want to be in and out as quick as poss.I tend to go at lunchtime as it's quieter. Weeks shop, in and out within 20 mins if all goes well! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 [:D][:D]Yes, ok, but here they only weigh veg and fruit at the till in Lidl......I try to be organized too, but ... I hate it w<hen I'm still packing and the next client's articles arrive, pushing mine ... [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's annoying.The first time we shopped in France, we were waiting for the checkout girl to put our groceries into a bag.Big shock that a. They don't pack your bags for you andb. they don't give you any bags at all.Guess we were spoilt in Australia! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 They used to give bags not long ago. It's been stopped for ecological reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I agree with that, it was high time they stopped giving them away.But in some regions like the côte d'azur, ( well at least where my parents live) they still give them... Nothing to annoy the tourist I guess.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 And around here they don't call them a sac, but a poche. Voulez-vous une poche ? A quoi ? [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yes, it also surprised me when I arrived in Poitou Charentes ..In Britanny they say " un pochon " ... [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
