Some funnies from the past...
When we moved house in France I spent one whole very frustrating day ringing all the services, France Telecom, Internet provider, Mobile phones, EDF, Water, Local Council, EVERYONE...
I said quite clearly in my broken french
"Je ramonage le vingt Decembre"
I got little response from anyone, a few guffled chuckles, no assistance, nothing, so i went on to ask: "Je pense je besoin vous appeller pour changer mes details?"
And each and every on of then said that really wouldn't be necessary.
"Mais je ramonage" I pleaded
And they still weren't interested...
When my son got home from school I told him why I was so fed up at wasting my time and struggling on the phone all day, and that's when i realised that
Ramonage doesn't mean to move, that would have been demonage and actually I spent the whole day telling everyone i was going to sweep my chimney on the twentieth!!!!!!
