I tried not to be too harsh in my first response, just correcting grammar
and basic language translation essentially.. all too often, English speakers
across the net have a tendency to mock those whose grasp of english is not
so good, or non-existant.. I live in Canada where there are two official
languages in use.. the original poster could well have been French Canadian
although I knew that he wasn't because of the mention of Nissan France..
French Canadians do not have a problem with using either language, and if
you sit and listen, they mix the languages up.. to the newbie, it sounds
strange but hey.. Rhys, you have a Welsh name and if you live in the UK
should be used to being mocked at times.. it is not always taken in good
spirit , huh.. the Welsh get their own back tho.. lol.. they sign public
toilets up as 'cyflesterau' so the English tourists can't find them..
lololololol..
