Guest repliedIt's just the papers talking up a storm, same as the yanks did with things like "freedom fries", there will be a few right idiots who actually do it for a few days but after that things will be back to normal
Btw what have the english..or the french for that matter done for European agriculture anyway?The only thing they've ever done for European agriculture is mad cow

So, one morning is long enough to establish a retail trend? What utter bollox!A spokesman said: "We have seen a dip this morning in sales of French products like cheeses, apples and even wine as shoppers make their frustrations felt at the supermarket checkout."
