Ian, If someone is offending others then report them rather than wade in. But here is his contribution to this thread can you point out where he was actually offending people?

Just for clarification and not wishing to upset anyone (particularly JIM) I haven't made any comment on this thread.
The 'silly billy' bit was on another thread.

I know that I sign off as ‘Ian’ but my real name is William and I try, I really do try, not to take offence. ????

If you believe that offending people is FUN, and then indicating, like a little school kid, ner ner ner na ner ne, only kidding, is FUN, lord help you.

I have started a new forum.

Snowflake.com

Based on some of the posts on here it will do a roaring trade.

It seems that everything someone posts upsets someone so snowflake.com will be the ideal venue to get upset about dissing flags :rolleyes:, Nations, FLT’s, English rugby failure and a host of other subjects.

I am off out to get pissed(y)

Anyway, back on topic, why are all the French villages empty?
We live in a French village and if you hang around for a while, you see loads of people.
But....
If it’s getting dark ( or even looking like it, the shutters come down and people are sitting in their kitchens drinking wine and pastis.
If it’s sunny, the shutters are down and people are sitting at their kitchen tables or in the back garden drinking wine and pastis.
If it’s raining, the shutters are down and people are sitting around their kitchen tables drinking wine and pastis.
If it’s cold, the shutters are down and people are sitting in the kitchen drinking wine and pastis
If none of the above are happening, people are at the dechetterie ( household waste tip) emptying trailers slowly talking about drinking wine and pastis or they are all out at a market/ boot sale/ supermarket, buying wine cheese and pastis.

Long enough
The easliest and quickest way to chat to a Frenchman is to go and empty your toilet cassette at a Borne on an Aire.
Before you can say 'Scarlet Pimpernel' you will be surrounded by most of the French blokes on the site all eager to chew the cud despite the stench from your regurgitating cassette.
Or is it just me that has that problem?

We are in France at the moment. On our first night in an aire near Calais this bloke returned to his motorhome and was intimidating and verbally abusive without us giving him any cause whatsoever. I thought he was French..... but it turned out he was German.

To get back to the OP we have been at the Bassin D'Arcachon for the last few days, very busy with French holidaymakers. Restaurants were quite full for lunch yesterday.

Its been getting hotter here, and very sunny today. Moving north tomorrow but I think it's to hot everywhere over the next week, perhaps 40° in places.

To be quite honest, your level of arrogance is staggering . I wonder if the French pick up on it when they meet you and so treat you accordingly.
We certainly do
