Salut EuroATC!
Nice to see you made it on PPRune and welcome. Also welcome on the European airwaves. We've already been talking a few times with each other, and I will happily confirm here that you have NO french accent

when speaking english!
But when I hear you speak french to others (our company policy asks us to com in english only), what a super exotic singing accent
(private note: just toured the Gaspesie from Montreal 2 months ago and we had a smashing time, people are soo friendly, thanks to all!)
Back to the subject, crisscrossing Europe has brought to me the fact that you ATC people sure show some nerves. Never heard so many say agains since the introduction of the channels. Of course one idea could have been the to omit the 1 digit (a la America), but in Europe everything is getting more complicated, justifies all the political bull.
Already mentionned the different accents, though I don't think being a problem once you are used to.
Anyway, have fun and I'm looking forward saying again
