    Remember too that while the French may have lost the three famous battles of the Hundred Years War that English history celebrates (Crécy, Piotiers, Aggincourt) they did go on to win the war in the end!

    King Charles’ state visit to Paris has been postponed amid mass strikes and protests, the French president’s office has said.

    The king had been scheduled to arrive in France on Sunday on his first state visit as monarch, before heading to Germany on Wednesday.

    In a statement, the Élysée Palace said the decision to postpone the visit had been taken by the French and British governments following a telephone conversation between Emmanuel Macron and Charles on Friday morning after mass protests against the French government.

    People angry at the French president were continuing protests on Friday after mass demonstrations on Thursday and had planned a further day of action next Tuesday during the royal visit.

    The Élysée statement said it hoped to welcome the king “in conditions that correspond our friendly relations” and that the visit would be rescheduled “as soon as possible”.

    French cars must be designed to turn over easily and burn well.

    Funny how men spend 9 months fighting to get out and then the greater part of their lives seeking to get back in.

    Unrest in France is tarnishing the sheen of King Charles III’s first overseas trip as monarch, with striking workers literally refusing to roll out a red carpet amid pension reform protests and calls for the visit to be canceled altogether.
    thank goodness France isn't raging with riots and strikes like the B word driven ones in the UK!
