At least I can hold them accountable and remove them from office.

This lot are bomb proof. Doesn't matter if they were found holding a smoking gun, the system would protect them.

They cost a bloody fortune and is an outmoded institution..... in my opinion. 

I eny the French set up.

What's stopping you going to live in France out of curiosity?

Main carer for mother in law and brother in law. Both with long term acute chronic conditions. That and a commitment to helping out with my grandaughter.....

Fair call.

Can't you just wear a stripy jumper, beret and some onions as a compromise?

My back door!

I also sound very similar to Arhtur Bostrom when I'm in France....

My cellar is full of french wine, Confit du canard, pate du foie gras, french coffee, fleur de sel, haricot blanc, casoulet au saussice et canard and all manner of other french stuff......

I'm guessing you get the pic??

Selfish sod. If you like it so much, ###### off there, etc......

In all seriousness, I'd love to. Some things aren't to be. Happy holidaying the 3 or 4 times year. Toulouse next weekend. Loire end August for 8 days. Let touquet at Christmas.  Next year already planned.

Ive been doing france for 30 years. Been over 100 times.... and yet ive never done paris. I should i know. Its just im more of a countryside sort

I envy you that much experience of France. I just enjoyed roaming the streets of Paris in the rain, and when the rain was displaced by sunshine with Madame ya bas. I photographed myself senseless. You could wander into any street corner eating establishment and get a lovely meal, there are some stupendous and sometimes emotionally moving things to see, and the people I had dealings with were always kind and helpful. I find that this is almost always the case where places have bad reps for friendliness. I was amused by the traffic cops, who just stand in the middle of the road blowing their whistles and letting everyone get on with it

Beggar Paris, watching the Feu D'artifice over Carcasonne from a  restaurant is a much better bet, time it right and the weekend can be involve the Dragons too. (not this year though)

The only thing that spoiled it this year was having the foul pres usa there!
