I love eating in restaurants, but unfortunately all over France they are now mostly patronised by French and British tourists. Like all British tourists, my heart sinks when I go into a restaurant and hear British voices.
I'm a close personal friend of the Internet, but even so my heart sinks whenever I hear an editor tell me how the Net will bail him out.
And my heart sinks if I walk in to a party and there's somebody there that I don't already know, or know of ... and I find I am sitting next to them. (BNC-B)
