French truckers on strike? I had not realised it was that time of the year. Must get a move on as the ferries usually go on strike just after the truckers and before air traffic control.

I live here in France and I haven't seen anything on the French news about it. But to be honest, I didn't know they had gone back to work from the last strike. If the truckers do strike, it will be interesting to see how Mr Macron deals with it.

How are you getting on with the transients Yodeli (gypsy) ?? A question. When a male friend refers to me as "mon grand" what exactly is the inference. Is it similar to good friend, close friend ??

It's a bit like "boy" or "matey" . More like a dad talking to his eldest. Dads might want to give advices to their sons, but after a certain age, they will have to be careful with the way they calling them, so they don t feel like little boys.

As for the gypsies...i don 't know as I m away. Gendarmes look after my house...

It's not a 'Truck driver' strike, simply a strike by transporters of 'dangerous goods' as in fuel, gas, chemicals etc.

Starting on 26th for an indefinite period.

Yup. And we will go back to being the same if Jeremy and his mates win the election. I am old enough to remember the winter of discontent and the 3 day week.

The strike called for by the CGT has nothing to do with a newspaper from a foreign country .... It concerns transport of hazardous goods - gas, automotive fuel, chemicals etc. Obviously automotive fuel availability affects the motoring public more than the other materials ... Garages have on average stock for three days, and normally they restrict the amount and temporarily ban the filling of cans to make it available to all for as long as possible ...
