  1. I think that sometimes they do that just to confuse the shopper because they are about to put the price up massively.

    So, two weeks ago you would buy sirop at 2.54.

    This week on special at 2.99

    Next week it's perhaps 3.65.

    You think - "wow, that seems expensive"

    Then you remember that last week it was on special.

    Seen this happen in England.

    Lucky for me I don't happen to like Sirop - de citron vert or any other colour!
  2. do you know - I read the whole thread and every time I read it as woodpeckers!

    sorry - off topic I know.

    ps. we have found dentists to be very reasonable here in France. Last year I was charged just 30something euros for the extraction of a wisdom tooth - plenty of anaesthetic involved too!
  3. Am hiding this thread from Mr. Bubbles.

    He is due for a coloscopie this year and is trying not to think about it just yet.

    The last one he had was here in France five years ago. He was out of my sight for about 18 minutes and during that time was rendered unconscious, had the procedure completed and regained consciousness completely. He wasn't even dopey - well no worse than usual. Magic.
  4. Not childish at all!

    We live in 66 and and we too are a long way down and right near the Spanish border.

    I love to spot my fellow PO drivers.

    They are nearly all driving virtually incognito these days with just the tiny 66 badge next to the number plate.

    Shame.
