But I must say that the eScale version did make me smile.

BTW, from the dictionary: Escale: f. Naut. Call (action); port of call
(lieu); faire escale à, to call at, to put in at.
Aviat. Stop, intermediate landing; sans escale, non-stop (vol).
Where a 'lieu' is a place and a 'vol' is a flight.
Which meaning is exactly the one that Paul chose I leave up to him of
course.
