Mpprh Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Plans are in hand to bring the French civil service under control :http://www.fonction-publique.gouv.fr/article619.htmlI wonder if they will ever move to signing letters with " I remain your humble servant" ?Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjb Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Will anyone but the functionnaires themselves be in the slightest bit perturbed by this? One shouldn't underestimate the ongoing frustration that the majority of French people feel about public sector workers, ongoing strikes etc... In my experience they tend to be well aware of the problems but are resigned to things not changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Mprrh, it would be a great idea........ but I really do think that you should have changed your flying bird to a flying pig for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 In my experience they tend to be well aware of the problems but are resigned to things not changing.So true. Another French paradox, hein? A "revolutionary" people, mon oeil! Ted Stanger, in "Sacrés Français!" came to the conclusion that France got rid of the monarchy and put cradle-to-grave State Control in its place. I liked that book.
