Then, and only then, write a letter saying "you are taking the peas
now" Of course you will have to write it in a foreign accent.

"Vous avez mange tout" perhaps!

Or even "sucre bleu"

You eat everything blue sugar. Please, what does that mean?

I think you meant to say on fait un jeu des mots, Baz! ;-) 'mangez
tout' is a pun on mangetout peas. Sucre bleu was a very poor pun on
the French expletive 'sacre bleu'. I couldn't understand a word of
this in Dutch or German and would struggle in Italian very badly. I
just happened to learn French from a very young age, though if it had
been Chinese it would probably be more useful now! Martin's wife speaks
fluent French, so obviously some has rubbed off on him!

The OP was complaining that her brother had nicked all the peas. Mange
tout is a play on mangetout, a variety of pea.

So, it is mangetout, not a play, but the same word split into two?
I honestly don't get it. Never mind, I will get it eventually.

It was a joke. Was meant to read.
You are taking the **** now.
Well I thought it was funny.

Baz - it *was* funny and Martin was carrying the jokè further. He was
using word play - based on the acute and grave symbols in the French
language.

HTH

Cue "Baz throws wobbly about clever people", again.

If that was a wobbly then you must be right off your rocker.

The pea itself is called mangetout meaning 'eat all of it' because one
does eat the whole thing, pod and all. And 'vous avez mangé tout' means
youve eaten everything. No more than that!
