Mistaken identity
Dave,
Your Normandy anecdote has reminded me of being there for the D-Day tour in 2004. Myself and an Aussie friend were in Courselles looking for a supermarket, no one to ask when I spotted two men in dark uniforms, beeches and riding boots, no hats. I said they will know, Gendarme motorcyclists ............. I went up and spoke in halted English with my question ......... the reply from one of them was "Sorry bud, we only just arrived here this week" ..... I then spotted the RCMP flash on his shoulder
