When the bottle arrived, Greg said they group was pretty chuffed and maybe even a bit smug that some Anglophone thinks he can win them over with a bottle of champagne.

As the note was passed around the table, there was a noticeable change in their mood. They would read the note, and then look at my friend and he would smile and raise his glass in salute. His note read, "I hope you win."

He says the champagne sat for a awhile before they decided to drink it.
That is a hoot
