Tour guide
The Moët tour guide was definitely the most entertaining. Unfortunately, while a seemingly lovely lady, our guides Japanese origin meant that she spoke English with a thick accent. Think a mixture of Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau and Mickey Rooney in his role in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Well, that was enough for me....so by the time I attuned to her way of speaking, then twigged that she had trouble with some words I was a goner. I know it sounds rude, but it was so funny I had trouble concentrating on what she was saying.
Translation as below:
Aroma - "aloma"
Concentrated - "concentuated"
Yeast - "east"
Non vintage (no years) - "no ears"
.....all spoken with an incredibly fluid mouth movement.
Well, the visual in my head of dancing bottles of champagne with ears, or without, was too much to picture. I totally lost it and again had tears of laughter.
