Francais s'il vous plait!


Do you know what is really annoying me on TV at the moment? The advert for Stella Artois !

The guy walks up to the bar (supposedly in France) and asks for a "Stella Artois four s'il vous plait." If they are going to have the dialogue in French, the least they can do is ask for a "Stella Artois quatre s'il vous plait"!

(The same goes for La nouvelle 4).

The local Council - do they think we are that fickle?


Has anyone else noticed that their Council has very recently started doing work or repairs that should have been done ages ago? Tarmacing a road full of potholes for instance...

Such repairs/works starting around about the time of the local elections maybe?

Coincidence?
Or just call me a cynic... :)
