I went to school in a very poor part of the East End of London and I lived in a slum and at school they tried to teach us French I used to say to the teacher 'whats the point of us learning French we're never gonna go there ' little did I know that in later life I would be lucky enough to go to many countries , how I wish I had paid attention at school ! Well done to all those who speak other languages I would love to be able to converse fluently with people when I am an holiday, I do try to learn a few phrases but I have a useless memory and at 64 I think I've left it a bit late !
