It's terrible. It's better than nothing, but you don't realise quite how bad it is until you have had someone from France, Italy or where ever use it to ask you a question in English. :eek:

No it's the opposite, soolin - they want to resell the OP's products. Bizarre French though - no punctuation, weird grammar. Don't know that it's a native speaker.

Read anything that anyone under the age of 18 writes these days in English and its exactly the same

Yes, but it usually translates the words quite literally and that's enough to make some sense of it.

Hi coultog,

If I got an email like that, id be straight onto the clock manufacturer to see how cheap I could pick them up wholesale.

Then id email my French friend the prices and see what came of it.

You never know - could be an earner!

All the best
