Phoned a pub 25yrs ago,asked if a mike .... was in he came to phone,we asked him if he'd put the barlady back on the phone,we asked her to ask if a Michael Hunt(said known as Mike) was soaking as it was pissing down when he left and we were coming to give him a new shirt,we pissed ourselves when she asked if Mike Hunt was wet,we had placed a microphone by phone and taped the barmaid.

Ok, firstly, let's just rectify your french grammar...I'll give you a break as it WAS 20 years ago after all...
Your first sentence should be: "Ce n'est pas vrai. etc""
And the last one: "'J'ai bien d'autres choses a faire, allors a bientot!" is a better way to say it although, the way you had the sentence was comprehensive.
Now, your point about christianity heavily influencing the custom of naming children is quite correct. Or it used to be, up to my parents' generation...
Nowadays, this old fashioned tradition is fast disappearing and being suplanted by the "Americanised" fascination for naming a child after some well known movie star or maybe another influencial figure...I'm not saying you are incorrect, just that your take on it is outdated.
And never in my childhood was my saint's day ever made a big deal of...
In regards to my delay in replying to your very interesting response, I was out 4 wheel driving all weekend, sorry!
And as far as being au fait with the culture de France...I was born French, but it doesn't make me a specialist
