    As i'm having to do a rehearsal in French tomorrow I was wondering whether anyone knows what the French for Clique is ?
    might come in useful as a direction to the viola section

      I certainly am.

        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

            Why does everyone take the pee out of viola players?

                  According to my Collins, the French for clique is either clique, or coterie.

                          No I didn't I said that since your last appearance 'there is a new forum for Politics & Current Affairs, smileys are disabled, and silly left-right jibes are not allowed (in either direction).' That applies to the new forum. Platform 3 is the playground if people want to be annoying about things they want to make fun of (not including other members unless with their permission).
                          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
