I find myself reading labels on bottles
Many years ago on BBC they had a parody of Charles De Gaulle giving one of his ponderous speeches, which started (how do any of us remember these things 30 years on??):
"Cette sauce c'est une melange des epices particuliares" (or close) which was instantly recognisable to 70% (IMIU) of the UK population as the French writing on the paper round the neck of HP sauce bottles.
You are not alone. Rod
