chessie Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Norman - Oh come on - what a rather unhappy comment. This report, from the FRENCH media, was reported in the Guardian, the DM as well as other British newspapers. There was NO Brit bashing, or French bashing involved - that's a strange perspective from someone and wasn't reflected in the article.Rather sad that a simple factual statement from a French newspaper, about a French citizen, gets turned on its head from what the light-hearted original post was intended to be.What's wrong with everyone ?Can't we at least start the New Year being kind and respectful to each other....?Happy bisous -Chessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatHCA Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I was in Dover ferry passport control a while ago when it was the French teams shift change. They were happily kissing (male / female) goodbye. I have spent a lot of time in UK police stations over the years ,but that was a first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
