The Holiday Season

[pennycsf66]

It seems to us that visitors from Britain are down, this is the first year we have let our flat to mainly non-English speaking people, the majority French.

On the unpopularity of various nations (and I accept, they must be moaning about us too), here in the sticks of the P-O a Dutch family are already daggers drawn with the locals for building their new house with materials brought from Holland, but worse, they brought the labour too. Not the best way to win friends.

Gosh, no, that seems a bit short sighted doesn't it?

Interesting article in Le Figaro today suggesting that the high end hotellerie de plein air market is growing exponentially. Talks about the BMW and Audi end of the market. People who used to go to hotels and gites.

I'm picturing a campsite populated by Audi-drivers. With everyone's tent being too big and too close to their neighbours and everyone driving over each-others guy ropes, cos they can.

All in jest, some of my best friends drive Audis

Mind you, there are also English people who buy Andrex toilet paper and Fairy Liquid washing up liquid down here...

I have to admit it is one of the things that i buy in Spain, you can't beat Fairy and I have tried all the french equivalents !
