| Re: Driver's Licence conversion I’m sorry if you think that I “made allusion“ to the fact that someone being young looking meant that they were under-trained, what I meant was that a doctor has spent many years training in his specialty, whereas it is possible to become an optician relatively quickly, at any age, although they mostly seem very young to me. Any ageist remarks were made against myself if anyone, as I’m clearly a lot older than most of you. Actually, I could take offense at your allusion that I was being offensive!. I would have thought it was clear that I was answering Devcat #23 about the eye test and An Luan #26 about the handbook to anyone bothering to read the previous couple of posts. It was only the next posting (#27), Sigh. The Swiss-french around here often refer to “cabbage-eaters”, but if you don’t like it, I’ll not use it again. I’ve never come across Swissies before though; it seems to be an expression used mainly by foreigners about the Swiss and as such is also rather offensive. Referring to Mark, Post #35.
