HP sauce
In t'olden days when I wor a lad, the label on HP sauce bottles had a description of the contents written both in English and French. The French version began with 'Cette sauce de haute quality est un melange de fruits orientaux, d'epices et de vinaigre de malt.' It went on for quite a few sentences more and for some reason I learned the whole passage by heart and became most proficient at reciting it. Quite an achievement... but that's not it. As a student I discovered by chance that laydees just can't say no when a bit of French is whispered in their ears. Consequently for years I have got my end away to the whispered description of brown sauce.
I should be ashamed of myself.
But I'm not.

I'll be fucked (or not) when I try it on someone who can speak French but it hasn't happened yet.
Thank you to all for bothering to reply... much appreciated.

If only Dr Shambolic, late of this parish,
were here to add something pithy to this.
The good Dr, apart from being a world renowned expert on the firing of artisanal kiln dried pizza, also liked to school the French on their own language.

Hadn't worried much about the loss until I read your post but you're right.
There's one hell of a difference in quality between his and your ability to take the pith.
