(Oh dear, Frenchie, I think I can hear a despairing sigh from Norman as he gives up on us!) The cinema in Notting Hill was only about half full though, on a Saturday night, so I don't think it'll stay around here as long as in France.  However, people clapped at the end.  Angela      Report

As for being French........................? Admittedly considered to be a little inconsidate by some, but you didnt really have much choice did you?    Report
