Deimos Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Article in todays Guardian I found interesting and amusing:Excerpt: "A group of French cleaning ladies who organised a car-sharing scheme to get to work are being taken to court by a coach company which accuses them of "an act of unfair and parasitical competition".The women, who live in Moselle and work five days a week at EU offices in Luxembourg, are being taken to court by Transports Schiocchet Excursions, which runs a service along the route. It wants the women to be fined and their cars confiscated"Full article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1525590,00.html?gusrc=rss.(Could not work out what sort of smiley to use - amusing, frustrated, etc ?)Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Is there a gobsmacked smiley?This is incredible - so the coach company will probably win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 HmmI can't see they will get very far with litigation unless there is more to the story.Car sharing is well established in France.
