I'm afraid you are probably right Peter.  Still, France is OK (apart from Ms Chirac).  Great sailing all over the place.

Ms Chirac??? Who's she?
It would be good if the Olympics went to France. As you said, Pierre, there's great sailing. Our friend guytoon would be over the moon, I'm sure!

Don't start BnS.  Everyone knows she's the President of France's wife.

Food's a bit iffy though, or so I've heard

That's only because you stayed with English friends, who raid Sainsbury's before crossing the Channel!
(a friend of mine went to Dordogne last year and was surprised - and deprived - because he couldn't find any Cheddar )

Advice to all: in France, it's virtually impossible to find baked beans, bacon, flavoured cheese (like the green or red-streaked stuff glowing at the cheese counter). Not easy to find prawn cocktail crisps, yukky fat sausage rolls, mint sauce for Sunday roast. Marmite is virtually unheard of, as are all the cheerful-looking fizzy drinks that get kids on a high.

Sad news, it's not easy to find a good curry, and chocolate bars are more expensive!

To counterbalance, any food you buy in France is worth a few sacrifices

Next week's column will be about wine...

BnS I was making an ironic reference to Chiracs recent comments about British food.

Advice to all, in lieu of baked beans, buy large tins of Cassoulet and add harissa to it.  A Le Mans staple when camping. 

Also you can't beat Grand Marnier Crepes for breakfast. Heaven
