http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7270401.stm "...not only did no one not speak the language, they had also seen us as just a bunch of freeloading backpackers" Surely if he was in France then it was him who didn't speak the language? And it seems to me that they'd got him just about right - a freeloading backpacker.
The pillock 'not only did no one not speak the language' So everyone spoke the language! Bloody freeloaders
RE: The pillock Indeed. And does he think they speak French everywhere between Calais and India? 'cos if so then I think he might be in for a shock next year too.
"Whilst walking in the UK, I intend to learn French and to hit the continent again as soon as we feel we are ready." </p> So what about when he reaches Germany? Moan a bit more and **** off back here again?</p> His plan is fecked</p>
Then he's going to buy a fishing boat and catch shrimp and become table tennis champion of the world and meet the president. life is like a box of chocolates for him. The thick tw*t.
"hoped to rely on the kindness of strangers for food and lodging." "But, because he could not speak French, people thought he was free-loading" What else does he want to call it then?! And wouldn't it be easier to learn French whilst walking in France rather than around the coast of England?
A language immersion program Should have been immersed in the channel if you ask me. I don't think it was his inability to speak French that made people think he was free-loading. I do speak French and I couldn't explain it either. The great thing is that these people are trying to teach us a lesson about how stupid we are to rely on money, etc. It really is pathetic.
why do people like that get airtime on tv in the first place, bloody obvious his head isnt right, 30 years ago he'd have been locked away in a loony bin, bring em back i say!!!!!!!!!!
RE: A language immersion program If you are going to try a project like that, where you don't need money and you get food given, then surely the way you do it is by bartering and doing some work in exchange for a meal and a bed for the night.
