Yes they did manage to instil a little French into my blockhead at school. Most of it had to be knocked in though!

I believe I have at least one ancestor of Hugenot origin, surname Moule.

Well, we knew about the recent lace french link but on my paternal side we managed to get back to some guys who fought (on thre wong side) at agincourt and came across for hastings - yes, Norman Knights. Now, this is at best tenuous but it made my mum happy!
