Merci monsieur
Sir,
Anna Murphy’s article “How to do summer like a French woman” (Times2, Jul 9), reminded me of the best compliment I have ever had. As I walked past a worker drinking his morning Calvados at a pavement café in Normandy, he spat at my feet and growled, “Parisienne”.

We went to a restaurant not far from Cluny for my 40th birthday, 38 years ago, and I went to the loo and heard a remark from one of the locals, “Elle est de Paris”.
Well done me new dress bought for my birthday.
My goodness, that really is you, isn’t it AM? 
I was taken to a room to complete the admin and wait for my hospital taxi this morning. This was the sign
Just been to the pharmacy and asked the young lady assistant for Benylin
“For cough” said she
“steady on love, I only asked”
