Default A Favour To Ask...

Hello everyone!

I suppose the title is somewhat a lie... I don't have anything ready yet, but will soon. Let me explain,

I have a best friend who is visiting Europe for a trip. I was going to make up a letter for her. They are going to Britain, France, etc. I thought it would be kinda cool to write a section of the letter in French and then have another English translated version or something.

So what I am thinking... I was wondering if I posted a paragraph/few sentences, could you guys translate them into some British 'slang' or something? Is that possible? Obviously English is the same but I've had to pick up on some of your words; bloke, chaf, stone, etc.

If this is possible, let me know. Then I'll post up the note.

Thanks!

Mitch
