Miki Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Here are just a couple of things that I mean are pretty poor reporting :"Anti-Brit riots took place last year in the Breton village of Bourbriac"The very sentence of "riots" were laughed about by the French and British alike, in the town itself. It consised of a handful of folks and riot (note NOT riots) is as far off as it could be."House prices are reasonable in Brittany, apart from in the south, where they reach Riviera proportions". "Apart from the South" !! That's a joke, the North with Lanciuex, St Briac, St Lunaire and Dinard itself to name just a few, puts the prices in the south of Brittany, as cheap on a like for like basis !!

Val_2 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Considering the size of Brittany, the report there was crap. Who reads rubbish like this to decide where to go just on one person's personal preference and who, most will have never have heard of before,I've certainly not heard this name anywhere.

For such a large and varied department, it concentrates on buying baked beans and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
