Sitting here reading the thread on this, I'm thinking, as an English
English person, I would say Point de Neige rather than pwan as we were
taught point is pronounced in French. Then, it dawned on me, English
translation... the other day we actually travelled (in the car) down a
road called Whitestitch Lane. (In Meriden, for anyone in the English
Midlands). Of course, Point de Neige translates literally to Snow
Stitch, so maybe it answers my mused question as to what White stitch
was?
