Knock knock

A man came to the door.

Me - Bonjour?

He - Bonjour. Je suis M. Perez et j'ai reçu un cheque de M. Aigre..

(Thinks - this is RUE PERES, but who is Monsieur Aigre? Aigre means sour, Aigre-doux is sweet and sour.)

After a bit of explanation it transpires that M. Perez is a path doer, and had submitted a quote for levelling our driveway which is a bit on the rough side of rustic. He quoted for lifting the gravel, laying more chalky stuff and putting gravel down again. He has been sent a cheque by le Maître Yaigre, the solicitor who handled the house sale to do the work.

Fancy! I wonder if M. Yaigre is also going to send a cheque to EDF to move the electric wire!
