    I never said I used their prescriptions.

    To be fair, the hand surgeon who rebuilt my crushed finger did a bloody good job. Apparently there are only 4 surgeons in Europe who could have done the operation succesfully; 3 of them work privately in the UK and one works in a public hospital in France. Talk about who's got the best healthcare.

What is it with the French and their bums?

    Kittens - that's the way to go. A big basket of kittens next to the bog. Once used you can flush if you are they way inclined but I usually tie them to a brick and put the shower on them for a bit to get the bigger bits off. They clean the rest themselves.

    Wouldn't that be rather abrasive?

All other variables being as good as equal, the only possible explanation was the food intake of the average American household.

    I've never understood how the English can eat so much curry and yet not have a bidet; the cooling effect of a cold bidet would surely be quite a relief after an evening on the vindaloo.
