BJSLIV Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Petty France in Westminster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Sorry Dotty but can I just ask if anyone knows where the name Petty France came from ? ( It might help with the quiz I suppose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I thought the answer might prove/disprove if its the right answer to your daughters question and googling it didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Petty is obvious, and other Petty Frances are places where there were small colonies of French people. So it looks like the dull answer is probably the correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I was hoping it was something less obvious....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It has to be Petty France. Why Crimbo Dotty? Dick broke the law and became a criminal, it just makes me chuckle, but admirably the steadfast schoolmaster hasn't bitten once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCCMB Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Well it's nice to know I have someone's seal of approval.[;-)] Petty France isn't part of France so I have no idea why it would be that - there isn't even a funny, witty or sneaky reason why it should be. Like me, the answer is both dull and obvious, I suspect. As I'm not a clever sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 >>there isn't even a funny, witty or sneaky reason why it should be.<<<Ha - but quiz setters are a sneaky lot, they may know of some ancient, unrepealed act of parliament or such - who knows ?Never mind, wrong again.

Unknown Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 This is an English lesson in a French college, so it can't be too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 My very clever (handsome) french husband thinks it's "n". He says that french english teachers enjoy taking the micky out of pupils. So the letter "n" is in both London AND France. Just making that clear for the not so clever people on here[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 If I was teaching English to non-English speakers (which, by a spooky coincidence, I do) then I'm sure I'd make "n" the answer. Why? because I assume that the teacher will be trying to test the students' knowledge of English language, not geography, history etc. However, I've bought extra eggs to wear over my face for when I turn out to be wrong.
