"I like English beer. I like your Queen. I can even sing your national song. How do I become English?"
The hockey club was watching the France-England rugby international in a bar in La Baule after losing 0-1 to Carquefou in the morning - a result that almost certainly ends any thought of winning the league. J-C may have been influenced by the rugby score - 14-3 to England after 20 minutes when he made his first request to change nationality. A good game was greatly enlivened for Rosbifs and French alike by a camera shot of Nicolas Sarkozy at the Stade de France looking even more miserable than normal.
24-22 to England at the final whistle - at least the two Brits in our team took some comfort from one of the day's results. Second year running les blancs had triumphed.
The last thing J-C said to me was "Red roses really are my favourite"
