I sympathise. Some years ago my wife and I did a self guided tour of
The Maritimes with stops in Montreal and wondrous Quebec en-route. I
though everything was included but when I followed instructions to take
the ferry over the St Lawrence to Levi to get the overnight sleeper to
Halifax the fun began. In Quebec I had no trouble with proper French in
bars, stores etc but when I got to the ferry terminal two smiling men
looked at my schedule and began speaking in an alien tongue. I tried
French and they just sadly shook their heads and repeated their message
in this weird tongue, finally I worked out we had to pay the small ferry
fee. My first and hopefully last encounter with Quebecois.Mind you this is probably on a par with most of you Good Folks trying to speak in a Glasgow pub.</span><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0px;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-variant:normal;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;border-collapse:separate;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">
