Only two teams in the competition and the French came last.
Actually the French team was largely made up of British expats.

But this really confuses me.
"The latest legal action from Bechtel will come as an added blow to transport secretary Chris Grayling, who is fighting off calls to resign after agreeing a £33m settlement with Eurotunnel over his decision to award three suppliers with contracts to provide extra ferries in a no-deal Brexit."
Why did we pay someone money because we bought more boats (or didn't depending on what you read)?
Since when was the Eurotunnel a protected monopoly for crossing the channel?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Grayling: the gift that keeps on giving.
Never mind how much Brexit is costing, how much has Grayling alone cost the country?

You gotta love it when Alan "Warty" Sugar gets on his high horse about "running a business", as if he has ever been anything more than a glorified char wallah.
I think you'll find it takes more than wandering around the lobby of a FTSE 100 company rearranging the brochures in the Visitor Waiting Area and topping up the bog rolls whilst dressed like an unemployed scarecrow to grasp the essentials of serious business operations.
As if anyone is going to entrust any meaningful contribution to their business's welfare to a witless prattler like you, wobbling around sweating and belching with all the style and deportment of a backward baboon, but with considerably less gravitas.
Stick to regaling us with your nonsense about hunting killer lemurs and angry zebras, at least that delusion fits a grunting bumpkin like you a whole lot better.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes in the work I do, but it's nice to see some delusional drivel from such a 'successful' contractor who still needs to work in their 60s
It must be so upsetting seeing us younger, more accomplished professionals when you're such a loser; is this why you have to attack with anger online? Does it make you feel better being the big man behind a keyboard, because you're a nothing in real lifeI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
