In the library today we bumped into the well-known actor John Nettles, who's continuing his researches into the Occupation. As we were asked about the rôle played by Jèrriais in the Occupation as a form of linguistic resistance, we were able to pull out the relevant pages in "The Toad and the Donkey" for him, as well as mention the republished texts in Les Nouvelles Chroniques du Don Balleine as a start.
