Just want to say thank you Clive for setting a question which resulted in me responding with one of my usual pieces of silliness which, who knows why, was selected as the front page quote of the week.
This is an honour which I will treasure along with my Olympic Gold medal (1948), my Oscar (best design 1954) and my Knighthood (1978 services to young women).

It was: My French is so good I translate Pic du Midi as being

Apologies for it not being in the archive yet, I haven't had time to add it. Must catch up with archiving, actually. As soon as I can get the laptop to myself.
