Is there an echo in here and I'm not your neighbour ... ;o)

As far as I know you don't come from Normandy.

Aren't you Bordelaise?

No. Though I've enjoyed many visits to the casinos in Deauville. And
it wasn't with my money either. Perhaps that's why it was so
enjoyable.

I'm not sure. Born and stayed a few days in Nancy Meurthe et Moselle
(North East), moved down to Toulouse a couple of years, moved to Paris
a couple of years, moved to Perigueux for a few years, moved to
Bordeaux for a few months, moved back to Paris for a few years, then
back to Perigueux for a few month - all this time totalling 17 years.
I'm starting my 26th year in Manchester. I'd say I'm a Manc. Wouldn't
you? (Though when I go back home, I go to Bordeaux).
