Evelyn,
Yes the mind boggles at Lunch with a fork. 😁 As our local TV ads say:
"Have some pork on your fork".
I started Primary school when living in Ulster straight after ww2, and
we were taught French at that early age, so I'm not surprised at its use
here. French was the common international language in those days, so a
passing knowledge was essential for travellers. Sadly I didn't retain
enough to help me in later life when touring in France. (But the local
French were very helpful and patient)

Thank you Len and Jim for this addition -I enjoyed reading about the
lady who had a "*a dejeune a la fourchette*" at her aunt's after the
wedding, I wonder how many of the local readers understood what that was.
Evelyn.
