Loadsa strawberries! u481s

My parents bought a house in and my Dad asked me to look over the letter he had written to the solicitor dealing with the exchange. I couldn't help giggling when I noticed he'd enclosed a cheque for 80 euros pour les fraises. He thought he was enclosing the cheque for his fees, but was glad he'd asked me to check before sending his 80 euros cheque for strawberries ...

Editor's note: Victoria's father would have just needed to drop two letters to make it right: fees in French is les frais.
