Message from Steve Warren of the UK Speedtaps site.
Chap from UK driving in France was made to run his wheel over a £400 Geodesy because the French bobbies do not like speed camera warning devices.
£400 ! Ouch

But you can have a tazer or pepper spray quite legally.
Wonder whether a trap detector or the above will cause the most harm?

The French, of course, have never really forgiven us for not being beaten in 1940. (Could motoring have been better if we had?)

It goes way, way back beyond 1940.
Try starting at the Norman Conquest (1066) which they won, but failed to keep the UK as a French Province.
And then they expected us to become a Republic when they had their Revolution and topped their Royal family and nobility.
And 1914-1918 when they surrendered and had to be rescued.
1940 ------ ditto -------
Anglo-Saxons are not the flavour of the month in France!

This weeks's Spectator www.spectator.co.uk by Suzanne Lowry. "Are The French a SH***TTY Lot?"
Prince Harry's remarks might also have fanned the English Francophobe flames a tad.

Then, we still have Waterloo station.

I like the french roads, lined with tall trees.
Apparently these were planted to allow occupying armies to march in the shade...

"allow occupying armies to march in the shade..."
Thanks Ian. People are now looking at me and wondering why I'm laughing hysterically at my monitor...
