This scene (the one in the restaurant) reminds me of the first time that I met Mr Cat's 5 brothers  Smile [:)]

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

Back in May, I dragged some Parisian friends round the North of France, finishing at a tour of a mining establishment at Bruay la Buissiere (near Bethune), where they were enchanted to have a tour of the mining galleries by a retired miner. 

At the end, we had shown such interest in every aspect of mining, that the old guy offered to guide us to the streets in Bruay where the "decrepit coron" scenes were shot!  I had already seen the film twice, but my Parisian friends not at all, so sadly I had to turn his offer down.  (The said Parisians could not believe that the people of the north did not feel patronised by the film - which of course they had not seen.  But I maintained that the people of the north have a well-developed sense of humour, like the British, and can laugh at themselves - while feeling quietly satisfied with their own lives!).

I also have bought the video now; I re-ran it again last week and laughed just as much on the third screening as the first.
