Yes Peter… had. But as you guessed, retirement had me move to the right seat again (when home…).
How appropriate for the site in question
Finally, it is official
If this is not true, I’d recommend the French Army to take legal action against a mr/mrs Crawford. Surely must be one of these darned Brits.
If this is true, could one of our French friends get me one?
EDIT! My deepest apologies to the Brits, Crawford was a Yankee..
Can’t be one of ours there looks to be no bottle opener and no knife to cut the baguette or pain let alone the cheese.🙂
Surely only barbarians cut their baguette with a knife, rather than tearing it. And as for cheese, a credit card works well in an emergency.
Oh no in polite company you cut the baguette with your pen knife so you don’t look greedy. Every Frenchman carries a knife for such a purpose. It can be difficult when travelling abroad.🙂
You don’t know where the credit card has been. Like the boy scouts it’s a matter of always being prepared.
I know several people who carry what looks something similar to a Bowie knife.But that is getting less now as health and safety and political correctness take hold.🙂
This ain’t perfect as it only holds one “tire-bouchon”, but could do in an emergency.

In my wallet! Though since that incident we now carry a Laguiole in the car. I also have a tiny Swiss army knife that is normally in my pocket. It’s smaller than the limit for air travel, but that didn’t stop Nice airport from making up their own rules and confiscating one of its predecessors.
