Hi DF, sorry to hear that you may give up on France. Home is home, after all, and I'm sure there's much you'd miss. But we'll bring the beer for your welcome soiree Stateside. Or perhaps you can persuade les authorities to outfit you upon your departure, like the prison wardens of old - new suit and twenty bucks.
Of course, your situation is more like a jailbreak than a parole, but they may be glad to be rid of you at last - poor saps. In the meantime, enjoy London.
