The woman was one of those irritating expat types who felt she owed it to the world to impart on her all her superior knowledge of life in France. I realised that if I didn`t stop her now, she`d be bending my ear all the way to Bergerac. ` Actually, ` I said, leaning in toward the woman, `I`m planning to integrate my way into the boxers of the first good-looking Frenchman I see. Can`t think of any better way to learn the language myself. You wouldn`t happen to know the French for ”fancy a shag?” would you? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi just seems a bit nineteen-seventies these days.` After one particularly bad day at work, advertising executive & confirmed city girl Melanie Jones decides to give up her old life in search of something new & simpler in South West France. With little knowledge of the country, even less of the language & just the memory of a disastrous school French exchange & a few day trips to Calais, she embarks on her adventure with a suitcase full of optimism & not a little bit of naivety. After all, how different can life in France be? After a series of adventures with skirt-ripping tractors, handsome twin farmers, celebrity not-quite-beens, unusual toilets & a bonkers ex-pat community, all topped up, of course, with lashings of rose, Melanie begins to discover that her new life in France isn`t quite what she`d thought it would be. ...

Lyttelton`s Britain

The I`m Sorry I Haven`t A Clue team of Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor, in the company of their esteemed chairman Humphrey Lyttelton, have been recording their BBC radio show around the UK for longer than any of them can remember.. .that`s about a week - or twenty minutes in the case of Barry Cryer. At each venue Humph would present a short history of the location, written by Iain Pattinson, to the mutual delight of the audience, the team and their delightful scorer Samantha (who somehow always found time for a rewarding poke around the area`s backstreets). We are privileged to present, in gazetteer form, the very best of Humph`s local histories form Radio 4`s multi award-winning `antidote to panel games`. As accurate as ”Wikipedia” and as comprehensive as
”Reader`s Digest”, this unique guide tells you everything you never knew you wouldn`t ever need to know about the background and inhabitants of Britain`s most prominent towns and cities. The intelligent reader will waste no time in adding it to their collection. Bristol It was from Bristol in 1497 that John Cabot set off to find a new route to the Spice Islands by sailing north-west.He instead discovered a strange, hostile world which he named `Newfoundland`, until the natives explained that they actually called it `Swansea`. Nottingham It`s well documented in official records that the city`s original name was `Snottingham` or `home of Snotts`, but when the Normans came, they couldn`t pronounce the initial letter `S`, so decreed the town be called `Nottingham`or the `home of
Notts`. It`s easy to understand why this change was resisted so fiercely by the people of Scunthorpe. Brighton a settlement is first recorded in Brighton as long as ago as 3000 BC, when Celtic Druids practised their ancient worship of oaks, mistletoe and virgins, and indeed, oaks and mistletoe are still plentiful in Brighton.
