It's been a while since I've utterly baffled anyone. Please clarify what you think is wrong with pedantry? By the way there have been new developments overnight. Upon further scrutiny of the OP it suddenly clicked. Ben said he met the French woman in the Strand on APRIL 14th. He posted here on MAY 12th. Well BEN, what were you doing in between? The trail was a month old by the time you decided to tell your two digit switch story. As you have now introduced yourself to the females of ED and managed to sweep them off their collective feet with your so romantic story, how many emails have you had from this region? These women don't want you to find the woman. They want to be the woman. When will you tell them you're from Dudley and live in a bedsit (rented) in Forest Hill?
