    @gks sounds like interesting cuisine.

    We still do not have our over 85's vaccinated. Or our health care workers. Or our vulnerable.

    I'm beginning to think that our leader had covid at the beginning and suffered a rare side effect such as getting even stupider. He is still bragging about getting promises of vaccines rather than actual receipts.

    And it turns out he lied about our stockpile of back up PPE. Seems when he said a million this or that, he didn't know the exact number of zeros in ten thousand and therefore wildly exaggerated.

      It's got me by for 14 years without croaking :biggrin: Sadly, the idyllic picture of French market stalls groaning under the weight of fresh, luscious fruit and veg is pure fantasy. It's mostly been kicking around the central distribution depot for about a week before being re-distributed by middlemen. Ditto most supermarkets. Lidl is the only chain that have got it right. But far better to grow-your-own when possible. You get a superior sort of caterpillar in the broccoli :roflol:

              The Mrs has stickers on some items "Keep off". She made a Thai green curry last week, it was to take to work for herself and her supervisor. The kids ended up eating it, I decided the dogs needed another walk when she found out.

                          And being at the top of the food chain, at least on land, I get to enjoy being a carnivore. ;)

                              Recent quote from a French historian about Mackers. I think it's time he was voted out:

                              "He is seething at Britain not collapsing after Brexit, consumed with jealousy at Britain’s vaccination roll-out and bitter at Britain’s early discovery of a vaccine, while France suffers humiliation, not least among her own media, as the only permanent member of the UN Security Council not to have invented one.

                              It is instructive how Macron’s speeches, to the point of circumlocution, avoid citing Britain when referring to examples of successful vaccination."

                                This is priceless - EU threatening to cut off power to Jersey and blaming the UK for the fishing situation.

                                Once we left the EU - Jersey can do as they see fit with their own fishing waters. I don't think the
                                French Government understand what a Crown Dependency is.

                                Fishing row triggers French threat of Jersey power cut
