The new phone book for Herault arrived in this afternoon.

The first thing I had to do was to check were we in it.

Sure enough there, the very last entry of the D’s and just two places under the Maire himself was mé féin.

    Just wonder how people pronounce your name there?

    According to family history an earlier generation of Dwyers, then known as O Duibhir left for France and founded the family Haudoire (exactly the same pronunciation).
    This time round the neighbours side-step the impossibility of Dwyer by calling me M. Martin. A cop out.

    Est-ce-que on ne met pas les accents dans les annuaires?

    Oui Padraic,
    L’annuaire (comme toi meme) est sans accent.
