I like it with hindsight. In the event i got sacked for quarrelling with the "little maid", which i wasn't very happy about - nor were my parents who were quite convinced that it was All My Fault because She Can Be Very Difficult and Argumentative - no arguing with that

Oh dear. This was in France was it?

No - the family was French. I suppose that it didn't help that Madame was probably as homesick as I was.
