A couple of posts back I mentioned having observed a 'french nose' around Lyon. Well, it seems I now have confirmation that this is not just a figment of my imagination. Today I did "What is britishness?" with my terminales renforcés. We started by brainstorming what came to mind when someone said to the students "I am british". And the first thing to go up on the board? "Strange noses". Only later did we get as far as red phone boxes, double decker buses, cooked breakfast, the Queen, etc…
Today I also managed, unintentionally, to inspire one boy to be an estate agent when he grows up. I hope this counts as a good deed…
