Tresco Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hi Simon.I think it said 'What is the thing that surprised you least about France'. It definitely had the word 'least' in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Yes, that was charming, but at the time I thought I fully understood the meaning.I still feel fairly sure, but now you point it out, I wonder if it could be read as ''looking for love'?

Teamedup Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Many years ago a french man of our acquaintance said that french men were the best lovers, they had the know how, the savoir-faire. I wouldn't know, never road tested one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judyc Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I agree about there being a badly expressed question - 'what do you think is the least interesting thing about France' - or something similar. Certainly the word that threw me was 'interesting'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
