Ah, two sensible countries.
I must be honest, I've never noticed while in Europe. I have always seen it
as a dot.
New glasses needed maybe :)
that makes 123,456,78 an interesting number .
Decimal POINT not decimal comma. Can't they do anything right.
At least we have decent 3-pin plugs (what are those things in France Two
holes and a metal rod - usually with wires hanging out as well).
Up is off and down is on. That's obvious. We're right, everyone else is upside
down.

Colin,
I believe all countries in Europe (except UK) use the comma as the decimal
separator
I don't think any one else uses comma as a thousands separator
110,00 is 110 Euros
UK and USA use the decimal point
The UK has to be different
The only country where switches are Up for Off

Don't understand these Euros.
http://cgi.ebay.de/Drehleier-Hurdy-Gurdy-Laute-Lute-Vielle-a-Roue_W0QQitemZ130253631792QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130253631792_trkparms=72%3A823|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Is that 11,100 Euros or really 111.00?
(That's about $200 US).
I thought the , should be followed by three zeros for thousands.
Is this a scam?

Sylvain - You play central France bagpipe (musette du centre) as well
as hurdy-gurdy? Me also (I only started the musette six months ago). I agree,
it is wonderful to play for dancers and also to play with other enthusiasts of
traditional French music. I hope you can get to a festival in France sometime.
Les Brayauds (Fete du Volcaniques) in July (north of Clermont-Ferrand) is
incredible, for one. But also here in North America there are occasional
gatherings of central France music enthusiasts. Several of us who come to Over
the Water are excited about French trad. Also, at Lark in the Morning camp in
Mendocino (coastal northern California) at the beginning of August, there are a
few very good players of hurdy-gurdy, musette and diatonic accordion.
I'm very glad to hear you got to have that experience!
Mitch
