Attention folks…On motorways, diesel usually available. However, if you’re on N roads, or minor routes. Make sure you have plenty!
Cheese eating, surrender monkeys.

God I bloody hate this phrase. You do realise it’s 2010 now don’t you? Not 1945.
They do something about their grievances, we are the submissive ones!
“God I bloody hate this phrase.”

Totally agree Harry,not a big fan of the French but atleast they stand united when their government p#sses them off.
We could do worse than join them look at the price of diesel here & the state of our facilities, I’m thinking its we that have surrendered somehow 
I remember around 1990/91 being parked at Chalon when the French Unions brought France to a stanstill for ages but in all fairness they fed & watered me & made sure I was OK & updated with the goings on & their goals here in Blighty we can’t be bothered to talk to another British driver let alone a foreign 1, we have become a right gang of subservient ■■■■■■■ & nowt else.

Well I think you’ll find I don’t. What I do object to is ignorant Brits using it and, I’ve seen this twice in last month, scrawling it in marker pen on toilet walls in service areas in France. And then people wonder why British drivers have a bad name.

Not to the diesel situation, but it fits in with the phrase ‘Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys’.
We frequently have threads getting into a few pages in here and several pages in the PDF, with a much looser connections than that. Sometimes they veer off in a completely disconnected direction
Has anyone any thoughts on our navy holding hands with the French navy, something about pooling aircraft carriers, combined nuclear testing and a few other things.

forget the idea and declare war on the French.
Rebuilding both countries after a devastating war should put several European economies back on their feet and it should sort the excess population problems out as well.

Radical Vas, but, you know what, the Germans would pick up all the rebuilding contracts, on the basis, that they have the experience 
so long as Germany is doing well the rest of Europe will as well
wish some one would say that to the 6 million that are
either marked down as unemployed, sick getting retrained
or on a 1.50 job,
