PQ - I think it was mentioned to you before that using "pourri" without the "pot" conveys a very different impression to a French speaker from what you probably intended.

In this context, so far from making a play on words of doubtful amusingness, it actually verges on the inflammatory.

Pat - yes - i was corrected before and this time did it without thinking. I note you approbation.

There's a certain justice in having a museum of immigration located in what had been the museum of the colonies.

That said, I do mean to go sometime. I can't wait to use the new St Pancras Eurostar terminal, which sounds very impressive, and it would be interesting to compare French and British museums on similar sensitive themes.

They had an item on NPR morning news today about that museum. It sounded interesting. Maybe you can go listen to that NPR clip on their website.
