A little item on the news this morning: Businesses in western France are starting a campaign to get the English to holiday there. Pourquoi? They don’t actually like us very much, but I suppose the money’s nice. Any day now I’m expecting the French equivalent of those Welsh signs to appear on the exits from the ports and the Eurotunnel:
“Bienvenue a France. Jetez l’argent dans le sac et va t’en!”
(Mon dieu! Il est Anglais et il ne parle pas le Francais…)
