NIGEL LAWSON CARTE DE SEJOUR

You may or may not know that Nigel Lawson, former Chancer, sorry, Chancellor, you know, Nigella's dad, is selling up in France and returning to the UK. It is known that he applied for his carte de sejour, around six months ago, the French residency card that would help him get medical coverage amongst other benefits. He claims that Brexit has nothing to do with him moving, although there is some gossip or speculation that French bureaucracy played a part in all this. I think I know what this all really means but I need the help of a PG Wodehouse quote. 'Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.'
