Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Well, after being here 50 years, I am proud to say I still have an accent but apparently, it can be confusing with a mixture of French and Welsh I believe. Even my brothers say I speak French with a slight English accent by now. When I ask people who I meet for the first time, they are not sure what nationality I am, some say South African, others Polish or any others .Everything seems OK in Devon this morning.
I've got to ask @gavroche do you still have a noticeable French accent? Or do you sound more Taffy now?
A good friend of mine, also French, who has been here for over 30 years, speaks English with a very strong French accent. Mind you, he also speaks fluent Italian and Spanish.
When I first came over here, as a student, in 1966 , I must admit the French accent worked a treat with the English girls .
😊Have to say AND it is only my opinion the the original true grit was the better one. I have watched that several times but could only watch the remake once.Hell or High Water a 2016 American cowboy film , if you love westerns
As I say....imo

Had never heard of "The History Boys" so looked up a review of it which said "My stepmother loaned the film to my wife and I because she thought it had to do with Eton, where her grandchildren go, and because I am a history buff with a undergrad degree in History. This film is nothing but a heavy dose of pedophilia/homosexual propaganda, with a sprinkle of feminism." Where are the cowboys and steers? shoot outs and whiskey n poker tables ? hell Maam , ya gotta give us the open plains, rattlesnakes and bad bad whiskey

It's only an Alan Bennett play adapted to film. 😄 There's a lot of good lines it, and some fine acting too. If that made them blush, they won't like any more of my recommendations.

English Channel if South Devon, Bristol Channel if North.
Probably a good idea
