He lives near Le Bugue, in the Dordogne, and at the time he was stopped he was extremely drunk...
The Gendarme signals to him to wind down the window then asks him if he has been drinking, and with a slurring speech he replies;
"'Yes, this morning I was at my (hic)..daughter's wedding, and as I don't like church much I went to the cafe opposite and had several beers."
"Then during the wedding banquet I seem to remember downing three great bottles of wine; (hic)... a Corbieres, a Minervois and (hic)...a Faugeres."
"'Then to finish off during the celebrations.... and (hic) during the evening ...me and my mate downed a bottle of Johnny Walker's black label.
Becoming somewhat impatient the Gendarme warns him;
"Do you not understand I'm a policeman and have stopped you for an alcohol test"?
The Englishman with a grin on his face replies;
"Do you not understand that I'm English, so is my car which is right hand drive, and that my wife is sitting in the other seat, behind the wheel?"
