--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---I have heard that the latest thing is that they will give on the spot fines for minor infringments like not carrying spare bulb sets, flourescent jackets, etc etc, so make sure you are fully stocked up with all necessary equipment.

You think the French are bad, you should try northern Senegal :roll:

Say you're lying and fine you anyway, at least that's what would happen here. :lol:

Bon Voyage, and for Pete's sake don't say things to the French like
1) You look slightly German.
2) The Maginot Line was a real winner, wasn't it?
3) Throw another Joan of Arc on the barbeque will you?
4) Didn't Calais used to belong to Britain?
or mention any of the following words. Agincourt, Crecy or Waterloo. They might get a tad upset.

In all fairness, I shouldn't tar our gallic cousins with the same brush. I have carried out exstensive research and found that the first Lord De Sheet-Pyle was in fact one of the first persons off the boat in 1066 as the 'Grand Monsewer De Toilette' for the naughty 'William,Duke du Normandy'. Apparently he was a little bit miffed that some scandanavian chap called Harald had nicked his place in the queue 'Pour Le Privee'.
Hence my ancestor was sent to go and clear the way for William, and make sure there was sufficent 'Papier pour Le Lavatoire' for the Duke.
Some would say that it is a load of crap, but I am very proud of my ancestoral heritage and that I have been able to get to the bottom of the story.
