Welcome to The Shed End D.!

Good to have you on board!

"Petit" in French often has nothing to do with size - it's more like "cute" or "sweet" - people will offer you "un petit whisky", like in Scotland we say "a wee dram" and the level in the glass is anything but petit/wee."Un oeuf à la coque" is a soft-boiled egg!

Take the piss? Toi? You are almost as unlikely to do that as moi is (or am?)

I knew about the soft boiled egg, I just also happen to know that coque also means hull, as in on a ship. It was an (admittedly rather weak) attempt at a play on words. However I actually wasn't aware of the other meanings for 'petit'. I shall bear this in mind, I'm sure it could come in useful... Probably not.

Is he settling in OK at school in London? I bet the girls at school love his American accent!

Thanks for asking. Y'know, it's weird, but when we first came to London, he went through a phase of trying to copy the local accent, which made him sound like Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" - hillarious! He's stopped that fairly soon and is settled down now, doing very well at Maths and Footie... :rolleyes:

 
Welcome ;)

I'd just like to say it took me a while to figure out what your name was. At first I thought it was "dvder" as in "DVD'er" and in a fan of DVD's or something, but I've figured it out now :rolleyes:

It cracks my son up time and time again when I dress up as the man at Halloween and tell him "I'm your father".
