Frenglish Thoughts on Blogger

Barry A. Whittingham here, a Frenglishman and a blogger. I have spent most of my adult life as a British expat living in France. This Blogspot blog is one of the websites online where I tell my story. This includes some life lessons and everyday stories I trust you will find humorous. Perhaps you can learn a few things about the proper steps for planning a move to France. I also wish you the best with your own life endeavors and any "Frenglish Thoughts" you may entertain now or in the future.

April 1st - Poisson d'Avril

Observances Around the World

April Fools' Day is observed throughout the Western world. Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things.
The French call April 1 Poisson d'Avril, or "April Fish." French children sometimes tape a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is discovered.
