It goes back many years to when there were a lot of economic migrants who went to France to work on farms and they weren't treated too well apparently. Is any one keen on the French ?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case you're interested. indeed, but he is being rude so by using the "Tu" from he is signifying his refusal to use the "vous" as that would imply respect.

I used to work with a French guy from Normandie and he hated them! BTW, this is a good and free translator that's certainly more accurate than Google translate. https://www.deepl.com/translator Typing any search term into google or following any link on here is always a risky business.. a website called DeepL? Ha you must think I was born yesterday But its ‘TangoTheAmiable’ we’re talking about here not Six so push the button.. you know what, its actually a very useful language translator 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Had a nice chat with her father (first time we've ever connected) via Whatsapp text. I don't think there'll be a problem in me using him to keep the psycho bitch in line. And she'll be very wary now I've got a direct line of communication with him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
