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

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."
