It's the French way here in Quebec....it's even longer during the work week, although during the week we're limited to just one bottle of wine at lunch....if you want more you have to wait until lunch is over and the "5 to 7" starts.... after that of course the work day is over and it's time to get home for aperitif...I tell you my friend, there's just not enough hours in the day to get everything done...

Sad but true that we actually have to worry about that - people actually have jobs here measuring the size of French and English words on signs to make sure French is larger. That must be why cinq a sept is so popular here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
