[Spartacus]

If the floods and ferry strikes continue i may take my other Maserati...its better on fuel too

 

[dem maser]

[Spartacus]

Of course Dem. Stop worrying. Why wouldn't we? We go and deal with things as they happen....

Failing that we find a pub in Dover and get drunk for a week.

The French Police will start shooting protesters if it rolls over into the Euros next week. It ll be fine

Wise words

 

[Spartacus]

Yes a not so wise man told me that years ago. Its got me into all sorts of trouble since. Still, wise words indeed.

Update on the road/fuel situation.

Spoke to a client who is a French architect and he's just come back and said it was all very quite on the roads and never saw any issues with lack of or rationing or ques for fuel.

He says the press and media are "whipping it up" as per usual.

 

[midlifecrisis]

With the European championship being on the pickets/blockades with dissappear as long as Les Bleues are winning.

 

[conaero]

About 3 days then Martin?

When France are playing, we need to stockpile fuel under cover of darkness!

 

[dem maser]

They kick it off next Friday so will know then

 

[midlifecrisis]

Might put a few white and red stripes on my blue car to help endear myself to the locals to get fuel. The side-effect is, it'll annoy Benny too...
