French on strike again!

Not advisable, our national grid would shut down in an instant.

Oh yes, they make electwicity out of atoms and sell it to Britain, because successive British governments gave in to the greeny lobby and wouldn't let anyone build new nuclear stations. Bloody Frogs; can't live with them, can't live without them.

Let's just invade them then. On their current form it should only take about 6 weeks.

I flew home from the Riviera only two weeks ago, so phew! Lucky escape.

They weren't rude. The french waitresses very pleasant to me. Especially the young one with a stud through her lip and the beginnings of a varicose vein on her leg. I gave her a good tip.

Leave France alone, I have always had a soft spot for it.

The English tend to take the view that they are misguided standing up for themselves like this and will end up worse off in the long run but they keep doing it and how long do we have to give it before we accept that they might have been right all along?

I wonder how many of the people living in southern Britain that object to nuclear power stations realise where, and therefore how close, the French ones are?
