    I am planning to visit France, when I have a chance,  Paris to be exact. Because it's my dream to see the Eiffel Tower in person 🙂

    James, the Eiffel Tower is not a person but a rather elegant building designed by a Monsieur Eiffel!😜

  2. Yes, Gardian, I lived and worked in Benghazi for a couple of years; the people were nothing but kindness. Derna which I visited once was less than attractive and seems to have grown hugely. It was known as the religious area of Cyrenaica. Very sad for the Libyans who have had enough chaos for several lifetimes and more. 

    Perhaps Brand could dedicate his millions to helping rebuild the place!

  3. The French government is proposing legislation to oblige manufacturers to declare whether supermarket type products have been shrunken for the same price. One supermarket chain wants to put labels on those that have been.

    What’s the betting that the legislation gets dropped as the big agroalimentaire boys get to work on les dĂšputĂ©s.

  4. Make sure you have a complete health record to bring with you. And medication for a few weeks. Register with the French health service and get a health card.

    Find a French GP who will guide you on the next steps. As you have a long term condition your medical treatment and medication should be pretty well free.

  5. wally, your friend has misled you; by and large the French are friendly and helpful though of course there are those who are not as you would expect in any country. If you make the effort to speak French and try to get involved in the local community then you will find a great welcome. But standoffish Brits will get short shrift!

  6. I take both sources with a very large pinch of salt; misinformation, disinformation, bullshot are being churned out by GOP supporters, Russian supporters, Chinese supporters, big donors, big pharma
