agree  Juan Jacob: Aller, zou ! Très bon pour le Canada, j'imagine. Quoique "guiche" (Magasin ?) et "slip" (Maillot de bain ?), à voir en France.

disagree  Martine Perriau: Désolée, Juan Jacob, mais c'est aussi pourri pour le Canada que pour la France ou pour tout autre pays francophone!!! Jacques 2080, sachez qu'il existe des boutiques «Bikini Village» partout en Amérique du Nord.

disagree  Martine Perriau: Passe encore pour le «guichet unique», mais pour le «slip», quelle horreur! le mot anglais «Slip» est traduit en français par «jupon»... très loin du maillot de bain!
