Oooo, no fame here, or claim to fame either....

OTOH, as far as provenance goes, I would say that I have been visiting my froggy mates here in teh Chartreuse (and yes, they DO call me the 'rosbif') for 30 years, I have willingly shot myself in both feet by refusing to import english builders of any sort, and I was asked - accent notwithstanding - to be Pere Noel for the local school (pop:14) last Christmas.

MY nearest brit is about 8km away, and if we see each other fine, if not, fine. Ive been to too many lunches in the Limousin where smug brits sit around being proud of not needing to speak any french - 'it's just too much trouble, darling....' - to feel any need to mix physically with such folk. Fortunately, such types ARE in a minority overall - but its easy enough to work out why they are despised.
