Do you speak english?

      I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small vilage in the south of  France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a life. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in France and he replied  in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenlysaid very slowly, " Do you speak english?" As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
