Pickles Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just in case anyone thought that the jealousy and emnity described in Pagnol's Jean de Florette belongs to a different century, here is an edifying story from today's Midi Libre:http://www.midilibre.fr/2015/02/19/trois-cents-chenes-truffiers-detruits-a-la-tronconneuse,1126210.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have always seen the arrival of Jean with his family and more sophisticated ways as being like the arrival of foreign home owners with their new projects In any case if you have ever tried to get work or run a business in the South you will recognise the meaning of 'they locals know where the water is but they aren't telling' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I feel sorry for him. He must be heartbroken.What is it with some French and their penchant for cutting down trees? I've seen it around here for no other good reason than to gain a couple of extra feet of crop planting. It's criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This case seems to be vicious and targetted.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Drunken, deranged inbreds, jealous of another's success. May they be strung up by the testicles and left to be picked by the crows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
