Picked up the French edition last week whilst on a long weekend in Picardy/Somme area of France. Haven't had time to really sit down and read it properly but looked immediately for name puns etc. Thursday is still Thursday, Landen Parke-Laine is still Landen Parke-Laine, Mycroft and Polly etc etc.
But - very clever translating - Jack Schitt becomes Jack Mairde.
Go on - say it out loud. Had me laughing outloud in the bookshop to the general amazement of the other occupants!
