Letter: Letter: Foot in it

Published 6 March 1993

From ELIZABETH YOUNG

Robin Das, writing from Mohlin in Switzerland, seems to think that the
‘Athlete’s Foot’ chain of shops result from a failure in the ‘Strasbourgeois’
understanding of English (Letters, 13 February). Not at all. I first saw
one of this chain’s shops in Annapolis, the home of the United States
Navy.
