We didn't realise you weigh your fruit and veg first and the checkout assistant was trying to explain but we didn't understand.

I did however have great holidays as a child and think I could have some more...
sounds a reasonable criticism to me,
also don't understand why the next post dismisses the whole of France because Parisians are rude
would you also base your assessment of the UK by London?
in Supermarkets - as in many other situations - first watch and learn from others, you would have seen them weighing the loose produce, otherwise buy the pre-packed stuff - or go to the markets and point and smile a lot
go back - enjoy - and try to speak at least a little bit of the language - and throw in a few Bonjours and s'il vous plaits
we tend to stick to France and Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark and Netherlands - purely because of distances involved - we usually go for about 3 weeks only,
can't get as far as Spain, and Portugal and Italy would take us months the way we travel
