Hi all
Well as many of you may have seen on various news programmes around the World most of France is on strike! The train company, the petrol trucks, the teachers, the post office and why? Because the French government want to increase the age of retirement to 67! Get a grip already, of course for the moment its only 60! But in the rest of Europe it is at least 65!
But then we are talking about a country where the average store closes at 12noon opens again at 3.30pm or even 4pm! They then close again at 6.30pm or 7pm. Sunday opening does not exist and late night opening does not exist! Shops open at 10am so its not as if shop workers are killing themselves.
Marseilles is being buried under tonnes of rubbish, shop workers in Lyon are scared to go to work due to the riots and looters! Welcome to France!!!!
National pastime? Striking!
National Sport? Drinking and smoking
Need we remember the idiocy of the French football team at this years World Cup?
My advice to anyone out there reading this, if you're planning on visiting France in the near future stay at home!
