    My schoolboy French ear found it easy to understand the announcer, but a combination of Maurice's accent and more technical words ......hmmmm.....need to study mom Francais un peu....

    Aux travail aux travail mon ami, poor les deux. My wife went to high school in the French part of Switzerland. I tend to lean on her a lot.

    When I spent time in France decades ago I was amazed at how easy it was to understand people in and around Tours and how hard down in the south.

    Great to see inside the atelier, wouldn't we all like a workshop like that. Note, even with everything else there he still has a Tele' too, and it is nice to see he has the first guitar he made in May '86. Also an interesting point there from Jazzaferri. For what it is worth, I was told that in France they say that the French spoken in Tours is the correct French. It is a university town, and there is a saying in England that correct English is Oxford English, so maybe there is a similarity there. Certainly there are regional dialects that need a practised ear, like Gascony, Provencal etc.

    Much easier time understanding Oxford English than Glaswegian Scouse.....
