    According to the Brits (or at least my husband) the French are always protesting about something. Every time you turn around some worker group has a strike. most noticeably the dock workers - which mean British lorries end up stuck on either side of the Channel and the ferries can't dock.
    or baggage handlers which means flights are disrupted.

    But I guess it is a right they fought for, so they will use it.

    It is so true... You make me smile Kathleen! Sometimes we are fed up with protests everywhere about anything.
    But in spite of all this stuff, life is good here too!
