We've done the St Esteve clubhouse trip twice – the first time, it was when Cas were in town. Two of their very young female followers started having a drunken brawl in the club house itself – if I remember correctly, they were cousins and they were fighting over the same lad. Foti with the Goti pulled them apart. The French patrons sat and looked on in astonishment (and not, I think, a little amusement at just how the English behave sometimes).
Oh there were tears and wailing about: "I wanna go home". Foti put at least one of them into a cab and sent them back to their hotel. Mad. Some of the other Cas fans were filming on their mobile phones.

| At least they know you're English.
I was in Brittany a few years ago buying some prints in an art gallery where the owner was multi-lingual, some young kids in front of me were messing about with a postcard stand and he said something to them then started to serve me, I said something to him in French and he replied a bit annoyed in a language that I didn't quite catch, I replied in French that I was sorry but hadn't understood what he said as I was English.
He looked embarrassed and then told me in English that he thought the kids were mine and that he thought I was Italian from my French accent.
I still don't quite understand how that one happened.

| quarter litre: 250ml
Pint: 568ml
half pint: 284ml
therefore half pint > quarter litre.

| Quote: Mintball "My language skills are appalling historically – I was absolutely lousy at modern languages at school (although I've learnt quite a bit of German in recent years). But I've managed to pick up and even remember quite a lot. I can do restaurants and bars quite comfortably now.
But we've actually had free drinks, in France, from managers of bars and restaurants. I sometimes wonder what's going on – it's a well-known story that in Paris in particular, staff etc tend to be rude. But we really haven't found that. Just one example
Something I remember well from a visit to Paris where out of the 8 of us on the trip, we had very little knowledge of the language between us, found a cafe down a street away from any of the busy areas.
The Barman (owner perhaps) did his best to greet us in English (which was limited to Hello, Thankyou ect) and we tried to communicate with a bit of french, which was hilarious, we were fine ordering a round of beers and some chips, but getting something to go with the chips proved a bigger challenge for everyone, With the bar man trying to explain something and us apologising profusely for not understanding, he ran back into the bar and returned from the kitchen with a big box of Spiced Sausages.
Didn't cost an arm and a leg either, and probably better than some of the tat we'd seen on offer in the main tourist areas.

What I really meant was that the glass LOOKED bigger than a standard British half pint because it was of a tall "lay-dees" stylee.
It certainly fooled the fekkwits anyway.

| I lived in the south of France for three months, twenty years ago and beer was expensive then. Lets be honest lager drinkers ought to be ripped off for their lack of taste. The French actually manage to produce a quite nice alcoholic drink out of grape juice, and you won't mind spending £6 for a pint of it !!
