    In your case, I suspect contempt and pity were fairly high on the list also...
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        No, definitely French.

          So you hitchhiked a free ride from the airport to the hotel?

          That makes you a chunt for using his services and not paying him.

            That makes you a genius ( FTFY) for using his services and not paying him.

              Why is it so hard to get a French speaking taxi driver in France?

              Why is it so hard to get a native taxi driver in any European country?

              No idea. Immigration or something, no bad thing unless it's a taxi driver.
              Me, me, me...
