If there's 6 cars and 11 people how come John and Lee both seem to be on their own. Is someone carrying three?

 

Someone give me a sanity check. There are 6 cars and 11 people aren't there. If so, who's forgotten their partner?

 

 

I've got an idea. Anyone not responding by tomorrow morning will get Scott's menu.

[Norman Verona]

Thanks. Only 5 more.

[Norman Verona]

Well I've got 9 out of a total of 15.

 

Only 5 days before the off so can those who haven't advised me get a move on.

 

Does anyone have all the emails for the group and can send a reminder round. (I'll get Jean-Marie and Nathalie's)

[Norman Verona]

I've been asked to publish what we have so far.

 

So this is it:

 

To avoid confusion the translation is:

 

Sans = without

Avec = with

Lapin = rabbit

Canard = duck

Morue = codfish

Fromage = cheese.

 

Oh, and Terroir is the name of the menu. Terroir is the ground the vine grows in. Wine from a good terroir can be worth thousands of pounds a bottle, poor terroir a couple of Euros.

 

From Wiki:

The concept of terroir is at the base of the French wine Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system that has been the model for appellation and wine laws across the globe. At its core is the assumption that the land from which the grapes are grown imparts a unique quality that is specific to that growing site. The amount of influence and the scope that falls under the description of terroir has been a controversial topic in the wine industry.^[1]

ed to add there will be one desert going begging as I won't have mine. If the trippers want to devise something that deserves a prize of two deserts......

[Steve (stevel)]

Hi Norm,

You don't seem to have Elena (Mrs L) on your list I put my order as 1 Rabbit ..1 Bouquet green salad and 2 Duck 

Steve

[Terryathome]

Norm, been racking my brain for devising who should get the extra dessert so here goes.

 

1. Best helper out on the trip, doing something for a fellow tripper over and above the call of duty

2. Person who has no sence of direction i.e. gets lost the most

3. Best dressed drunk

4. Most stupid comment that anybody can make

 

My money is on option 2 but 3 or 4 might stand a chance.

 

Anybody get any ideas.

 

Terry
