the French had a fun time checking all incoming British pilots to see if they had their English level!
The bastards did as well. I was on the recieving end of that
with a license with less than a year to run and no level indicated on it. The frog saying that if there was no level indicated it meant that it was level 4 and as the license was 4.5 years old I was out of date. Of course it was the weekend and they were quite happy to throw me in Jail until the CAA opened up again.
