there are 7,000 members belonging to the association frogaise francaise de petit-île. i couldn't believe it either.
i was gobsmacked when it was announced durin the la pack du grande bretagne committee meetin on the tuesday. no, everyone was gobsmacked. does the numbers consist of spouse's, bairn and mistresses? or the francophone speaker's of canada, belgie and switzerland? or their former asian/african subject's perhaps?
i have this nagging suspicion that whomever signed up for french lessons at the alliance francaise were "encouraged" to join le association. we all know that em french can be quite zealous in wanting the entire bluemarble to adopt their language and culture. innit?
regardless, it's frightening. 7,000 snail connoiseur's, mind.
