Dick Smith Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Impossible to believe, I know, but M. Sarkozy has turned down an invitation to lunch at Croydon's only French restaurant. And the chance of a morning's shopping at the Whitgift Centre, meeting the yoofs and the Tennants drinkers.Story hereThe scariest part of this is the statement that he wants to model the suburbs of Paris on - Croydon!Can this be true? Surely it is a high crime against the Republic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Sarko was waiting for an offer of lunch in The Gate of India in Carshalton. It shows a Croydonesque lack of imagination to offer to take him to a 'French' restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framboise Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Possibly Madame Sarky put her foot down about visiting Croydon when she realised its Kate Moss' home territory, especially knowing his penchant for the odd Supermodel?Remember the old adage. "You can take the girl out of Croydon, but you cannot take Croydon out of the girl", something La Moss proves time and time again! [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alig99 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Having had to live in the Borough of Croydon for 8 years all I can say Mr S has some taste, sorry to say I can't think of any resturant he would get a good meal in, in Croydon. However, perhaps in modelling a part of Paris on well perhaps thats Purley which has the most millionaires per square mile in the UK! Just a thought but on reconsidering perhaps not!!
