Translate into French:
Moi (for it is he) Good morning, I would like a ticket to Roscoff tomorrow morning for me and my bicycle, is that possible?
M. SNCF I very much doubt it. Anyway, why go to Roscoff? There's nothing there. Strasbourg has everything.
Moi euhh? I want to catch the ferry.
M. SNCF No, no, the ferry goes from Calais. I sell you a ticket there.
And so on. Eventually, after being convinced by a colleague that, yes, there was a ferry from Roscoff, we had a long discussion about where the ferry went, why one would want to go there and finally, he sold me a ticket. I hasten to add this was all very good natured.
It is wonderful not to have to cycle anywhere today.
