  1. Many moons ago we did the "buy a cheap Transit" tactic. We loaded up in Reading, down to Dover, on to Boulogne where we had a small collection of bits and pieces to load up. Then onwards to the residence secondaire in Manche. The van blew up on the Caen peripherique ... had to hire another van on the spot, transfer all the stuff and carry on. We ended up having to scrap the Transit ... local garage wanted well over a grand for a new head gasket ... hey, c'est la vie, but I was not amused at the time.
  2. Aren't "The Markets" amazing ? They are run by The Masters of the Universe who require vast bonuses to reward their immense knowledge and insight, and at the slightest bit of bad news they all run around like wet hens squawking "THE SKY IS FALLING"
